Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

We enjoyed very much. Loved that the rest. menu changed day to day. Rest service was the best ever. But it was very difficult to get a beverage at the buffet or any resturant on level 9 you had to leave your plate to get cold while you search out a bar, stand in line prove you paid for the package only to get one drink at a time, even if you had your roommates pass.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Pools, casino, watched the Saints game in the Red frog bar. Deck chairs, spa, waterslide, photo shoot. There were a lot of kids around the adult area pool and casino and the sports bar off the casino Limited seating which kids took up.
