Ship experiences

Food and Dining

The main dining room was just fantastic! Our waiters, Franklin and Washington went out of their way to please us! To explain further, they brought extra appetizers even though no one ordered them. The buffet was good as well. Highly recommend Sorrento's pizza.

Pub
