Review summary

We went on this cruise for my 50th birthday with friends and family. Had a great time, but noticed the quality of service in the dining rooms was a bit down. Quality of the food is basically the same as the quick service areas. Steward staff was excellent as always...our girl could not do enough for us!!! Also, time to invest in some new pool towels!

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Was not in love with the dining room experiences. I did not feel like there was any real difference between the dining room and the quick service. The specialty restaurants were very good and worth the extra money...food and service!
