Entertainment

The ships singer and dancers were fantastic. The magic and music were not in sync. Understand they were still trying to learn .

Service and Staff

4 out of 5

Dining room head waiter and assistant were very slow. We had twelve in our group and they paid more attention to guest around us. Slow on refills, bringing food and extra bread and butter. Didn’t get our coffee until we had finished dessert.

Had to wait a long time at carousel for our bags. One of our porters gave up and left his cart and our bags and went to make tips somewhere else.
