Ship experiences
Food and Dining
Craft Social Bar
This was our favorite bar. Great place to watch sporting events and they have many football games on depending on day. Also soccer and baseball.Goldie took great care of us and helped me make the best custom old fashioneds. Thanks Goldie!!!!
The Martini Bar
Very slow drinks here. Gets very busy and the staff and bartenders cannot keep up with it. Several nights we just walked to the bar to wait in line to order.
Le Petit Chef and Friends
Enjoyed this show again as we wanted to take our parents. Was equally entertaining as the first time. Staff was great and checked on us often. Great evening.
Luminae
Had several great nights in Luminae. Ali, Demmy and Thomas were exceptional and took great care of us. Thanks guys.Also Bourbon and Peaches cocktail was absolutely incredible!!!!
Eden Bar
Very slow service here - finally left to go elsewhere for a drink.

Entertainment
The Casino
Have been a rated Blue Chip player - had a very bad experience on roulette table where the dealer allowed other players to play the same green chips i was - after playing pretty heavy for over an hour. Not quite up to par on gambling rules and i think it is due to rookie dealers.
