Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

The buffet food was ok, but the main dining area food was excellent. There was always something to eat when we were hungry.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

Many of the activities were geared towards the 50 plus crowd in my opinion. I wish there had been a little more for my teen daughter and myself. Shows were pretty good especially the Newly Wed Game which was halarious. I would have loved to have some spa treatments but they were much too pricey. The gym was great and the pools wonderful. I never got a chance to use the Rock Climbing wall due to wheather conditions.

The Dolphin encounter was well worth the price tag. LOVED IT!! The Onion and Frog Restaurant was great. Try the Onion Rings and burgers. Beech looked awsome but the wheather was not good for swimming. Shopping was reasonable and the Rum cake factory was a hit.
