Review summary
A solid itinerary with island stops. Thought the ships eating venues are trading quality to cut costs. Service was solid. Entertainment adequate. Not spectacular, but worth watching at least once. Ship was at full capacity which was notice on the elevator wait times. Very long waits. Some bars also were easily overwhelmed. Retreat area was properly staffed, but some food service employees excited little enthusiasm for keeping up with requests.Embarkation
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
Fine Cut Steakhouse
Steaks are no better than nice steakhouse offerings. Service was very good.
Eden Cafe
Great for a quality brewer or lunch. Overlooked by many
Eden Restaurant
No longer a themed menu. Just a collection of different dishes.
Luminae at The Retreat
Service good, but menu lacking in quality and originality. Bland and not any better than MDRs.
Raw on Five
Reduced offerings while increasing prices. Service was not attentive. No wow factor.

Ship tip
Eden cafe is a nice breakfast and lunch venue that many miss. Get to major theater shows 30 minutes early to get good seats.
