Review summary

This ship was great and lots of activities for my 8 year old son to do: waterworks, pool, sky ride, sky court, mini golf, ECT. I would say my disappointment was that the specialty eating areas were only open during lunch which on Port days we were not able to access because of shore excursions and were then only really left with the lido buffet for dinner unless we wanted to do the dining room which my son was not interested in. I wished these eating areas were opened for dinner also. I also feel, which this seems to be the case on every ship, is the pools are way to small to accommodate 5,000 people. Wait staff was excellent!

We never once on that ship had a problem with over full pools, with the different ones on there we never felt crowed

You both missed out if you didn’t do the main dining area. That was one of my favorite times on our cruise.

The steakhouse, Jiji, the Italian place and sushi are all open for dinner. You can get pizza 24 hours and I believe the seafood shack is also open for dinner. 🤷‍♀️

Im guessing when OP said "specialty eating" they were referring to Blue Iguana and Guys because Specialty Dining is the Steakhouse, Bonsai Sushi, basically anything with a fee which is open for dinner.
