The buffets and MDR were splendid - don't remember there being "specialty restaurants."

The theater was great, lots of bands by the pools.

Entertainment

What's not to like about San Francisco (other than the politics)? Cable cars, water front, China Town - all neat.

I think it was off-season for the divers - but they put on "second stringers" for us - still cool.
