Dining options limited to Windjammer Cafe (buffet), Park Cafe (small food counter), My Fair Lady (formal dining room), Choppe Grill (extra cost) and Chef's Table (extra cost). Also, you will be charged for extra gratuities (full 20%) if going for the paid dining options in addition to the mandatory per person per day gratuities.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Ok. Some items overcooked, over/under seasoned. Could not seem to get eggs to cook correctly (boiled, scrambled, etc.) and made appealing.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Kids were beginning to get bored. Some kids/teens activities. Very small arcade. Only had rock wall and bungee trampoline with very limited hours. Had 3 small pools but 1 was 16y.o.+ so effectively off-limits to kids.

Entertainment
