Review summary

The only problem for me was getting a chair on sea days, those two days by 8aM all chairs had towels on them and could not go outside by the pool either of those two days which was very disappointing, other than that the food was great, our wait staff, Rosario and Francis were top of the line, did not know how else to please, the shows were great, comedian was very funny, the Toppers show was fantastic, voices were unbelievable, Marteen did a great job with the entertainment especially the wedding game show, absolutely hysterical!!!

Food was very good, the staff very attentive, getting a table was ridiculous especially on sea days, that was my only problem, otherwise it was very good, lots of choices!

Tuscan Grille

5 out of 5

Oh my do not know how to say it except the best food, we tried everything, we went six of us and had a great experience, food was so very good and the waiters I wish I could remember his name Dante or something like that was the best, every dish he recommended was better and better, we would definitely go back there, a little expensive but worth it.

Silhouette Restaurant

5 out of 5

Absolutely loved our waiters, Rosario and Francis, they were the best, always there to please, we were at a great table, eight of us, no one knew anyone but by the time we left the cruise I think we made some lifetime friendships, already making plans with one couple for another trip, we took pictures with our waiters because they became friends, food was delicious every night!

Cafe al Bacio and Gelateria

Coffee was great, loved all the different flavors, tried them all!

Pool

3 out of 5

Not enough chairs especially on sea days, towels are placed on chairs to save them even when people go on excursions, I asked for a chair on a sea day to be able to sit outside ANYWHERE, they said chairs were all out, so for those two days unless you go up before 7AM you do not get to sit out in the sun which is why I go on vacation.

Fortune's Casino

5 out of 5

I lived in the solarium reading the entire cruise and I saw the nonsense go on and I was confrontational if you times two guests that were so arrogant and believes they could save as many chairs as they wanted for hours at a time. I spoke daily to the pool attendance because we became friends I was such a regular they said they do have the placards to put on there but they get yelled at and that ultimately customers come first so it's a fake rule that they cannot enforce. This needs to come from upper management it is so frustrating to not have rules when you have limited space for such a great amenity. Literally the last see day on the way back a woman reserved 8 chairs for five and a half hours while her friends slept in then got spa treatments and wondered in around 1:30 to poolside chairs in the solarium. She had several encounters with unhappy vacationers and actually went and tattled to the cruise directors assistant and then came back and told me they were on her side. Such BS I hope she's reading this because she absolutely thought that it was fine for her to reserve an entire row of chairs because she got there at 7 in the morning

On the Reflection at the adult pool, staff would put a little plastic tag on the end of chairs if no one was sitting there. I’m assuming they were color coded by hours because after a certain time they would remove the “saving” towels and prep the chairs for new guests.

I agree, this is ridiculous. I see saved chairs all over and in 6 hrs time no one ever uses the chairs. Please come up with a solution to this and enforce it.

Chair hogs suck! There must be a solution to this issue.
