Review summary

Had a great time! Cruising is definitely my happy place!

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Smooth and easy! No line at all! Our arrival time was 12:30-1. We arrived about 12:45 and was on the ship by about 1:15. We each tipped the porter $5 for a big suitcase each. Our bags were delivered before the muster drill.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Lincoln Dining Room

5 out of 5

Food is always great! I always get my money and my belly worth and order 3-4 appetizers. Its always enough food to make me happy. Some stuff is good and some is bland

Washington Dining Room

4 out of 5

I think this was the dining room that we had Sea Day brunch in. Service wasn't so good and the food wasn't either. This is usually one of my favorite things on a cruise. They took away my favorite tomato soup and my steak and eggs was not the best

Scarlett's Steakhouse

5 out of 5

Love the steakhouse! I always go the first night so I can start my cruise off right! You always get a free bottle of wine or 50% off any other bottle.
