Review summary

I enjoyed my cruise on the whole however the pool party was canceled due to weather.there should have been a plan B. I thought superbowl should have a tailgating type meal in a central spot this would have been a nice touch as we missed dinner to watch it. The shows were enjoyable. 70's night was a blast. The centrum band 4 on 4 was great.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Main dining was very good we did our time very convenient. Clyde our waiter was very attentive. The buffet was difficult for me as I am gluten free and there was not a large selection One meringue cookie and jello for desserts boring. I asked several staff as to what items were gluten free at lunch but did not get much of a response. Breakfast I stayed with omelet station as safer so that was okay
