Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Main dining room was a problem. We requested that our group be seated together and they could not accommodate us the first night so only 8 were seated together. Service was not up to par. We were seated together the next night and the wait staff was very slow and inattentive. We had to ask several times for drinks. After complaining twice service improved some but not to the standard we have received on past cruises.

Royal Caribbean singers and dancers were fantastic. Magic and Music was a joining of two people that were trying to mesh their act together. Ice show was good.

My room steward was fantastic. Went above the normal to maintain my room. Skipped his normal dinner to return and unlock my door after I had left my sea pass card in the room.
