Horizon Court wasn't that great. Didn't like the Bayou Café. Province DR, Bordeaux DR and Sabatini's were great.

Lido Pool

3 out of 5

Tried three times to watch movies under the stars, but it was too windy to keep my eyes open. That was such a disappointment because the movie choices were excellent.

Entertainment

4 out of 5

The stage shows were top notch! Also loved the comedian, Third___ (don't remember is whole name).

Service and Staff

Cabin / Stateroom

Our cabin was lovely. I especially loved the shower head. My only complaint was getting over the balcony door threshold, but our cabin steward found ramps for us.
