Review summary

COVID changes have not all been good! When on vacation I am NOT going to be carrying around my phone looking at some app for dining check in or looking at a menu! Scrolling up and down for selections is not a good thing! Much less trying to keep up with which shows and activities are at what time! I acknowledge that it saves tons of paper, but print one page with most important info (like what was available at guest services and coffee shop) for your over 40 crowd who aren't glued to their phones! :)

Pretty much slums, poor city. City Tour showed how sad the city was.

I really liked the app too and I’m in the over 50 crowd. Sorry you didn’t.

I agree totally. Want to completely get away from phone while on vacation. I would just tell them I don't have my phone. They would still seat us and bring a menu. Worked right around it.

Didn’t bother me I actually found it easier to do it all on my phone we used the app before covid and liked being able to decide what we wanted to eat before we sat down 👍👍
