Review summary

The food was great. Still offering Lobster Tail on formal night and we also had prime rib two nights and filet mignon accompanied by eggs was offered for breakfast at least twice during the week.  The "Anytime Dining" needs some improvement.  Have to go to one floor to make reservation, then go to the dining room on another floor and wait for your beeper to go off.  It was usually between a 30 - 60 minute wait time (but in fairness, not sure if it was due to our party size or not, we asked for one table of 12 or 2 tables of 6, whichever came first).

It was small. The two wall bunks hung over our King bed and we hit our heads many times.

Ship tip

Piano Bar was a fun place. Trivial Pursuit was a lot of fun.

We never waited & never had a beeper. Maybe it was the time you ate. We always went early & never waited. Or like you said it could've been the size of your party.

Jennifer. Thank you for the response.

Yes you have to get a ticket every day. We never had to wait except on formal night and that was a quick 10-15min wait. We were a party of 4.

Do you have to get the ticket each day?

We always go and get our ticket about 5:45. We have never had to wait to be seated. There were 6 of us.
