Ship experiences
Food and Dining
Lido Marketplace
Typical buffet restaurant. Decor was nice. Food was average. Breakfast only serves bacon a few days each week. Not good for those of us who can't eat sausage.
Limelight Lounge
If you are going here for a Trivia during the day it's fun and comfortable. If you are going for the evening music that's a completely different rating. It's loud and raunchy!
Pizzeria del Capitano
Only two types of pizza to choose from. A little disappointed. Not much to write home about.
Piazza Piani
Food was amazing. Great choices to choose from for grilled sandwiches.
Palm Restaurant
Greatest staff you can ask for! They were attentive and friendly. The restaurant was beautiful!
Guy's Pig & Anchor Smokehouse / Brewhouse
We were here several times. Only one time to actually eat. It's a fun area and the food was great!
Guy's Burger Joint
Food is awesome! Burgers are delicious! Toppings you can choose from are amazing!
Bonsai Teppanyaki
Food was amazing! Staff was hilarious! Dinner was fun with lots of singing and eating.
Bonsai Sushi
Very friendly staff and fun to watch make the sushi. We sat at the bar around the chefs.
Big Chicken by Shaq
Food was delicious and very fresh!
Onboard Activities
Mardi Gras Casino
This is one of the largest Casinos I've seen aboard a ship. It was fun with plenty of places to play. I liked that there was a smoking side and non-smoking side.
Serenity Adult-Only area
Plenty of room to relax in the sun or shade.
The Fun Shops
There are a large variety of shops to choose form. I was amazed we could not find a shop with incidentals like toiletries and small items. Hope you don't forget anything.
Cloud 9 Spa & Thermal Suites
Very pricey. Had my husband a visit prepaid for. Because of delay getting on the ship, we missed the appointment. They rescheduled at the higher price and it took until the last day of the cruise to get my credit. Then they get very pushy and try to sell you items you do NOT need.
Tides Pool and whirlpool
Great location for sun and relaxation!
Pixels
Great place. Not a lot of staff around. Everything was digital. You ordered your pictures and then came back later to pick up.
Guest Services
We had to go to Guest Services several times. Very friendly and helpful staff.
Entertainment
Mardi Gras Theater
Decor was beautiful. Seats were comfortable. Plenty of room for everyone. We had fun at the Family Feud event. We had family competing. The evening Broadway show was a disappointment.
BOLT Ultimate Sea Coaster
This is a must do! It is fun and exciting! Don't forget to look around as you go. The ocean view is amazing!
