Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

For the most part food was good. Same things as others but a few new places. Shaqs chicken was popular place for people. Dining room was a bit slow at times. Lido food was okay. Guys burgers was not as good as in the past. Hamburgers tasted different. Fries were under cooked too.

Guy's Pig & Anchor Bar-B-Que

5 out of 5

Food was real good.

Palm Restaurant

4 out of 5

Food was good for the most part however our last night we ate later then normal 8:30 pm due to a show and food was horrible. Enchiladas were all dried out, shrimp for another family member was over cooked. They are under staffed too.

Lido Marketplace

4 out of 5

Food was average nothing special but they do have the gelato daily and two different flavors. Very understaffed. Prior shops we have been on they clean tables constantly. This time lots of dirty tables. Glad I had my own disinfectant wipes to clean.

Pizzeria del Capitano

4 out of 5

Good pizza for a late night snack

Service and Staff

Kimi in ding room was very nice our steward was okay

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Very clean. However Trays and dishes were left outside of rooms for hours.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Room was clean. Showers have a glass door on them except special assistance rooms still have curtain. Toilet paper holder is in a very hard place to reach, on left side of toilet in back behind tissue. Night light stays on all the time in bathroom which was a nice feature.

Ship tip

A lot of people don’t obey the mask thing. They do there best to enforce it. Using steps if able is better.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5

Very smooth and fast. They call by your muster station number so that helps the flow. Elevators weren’t to bad either.

Thanks for sharing. Glad you had a good time. I don't understand why people leave their trays outside the door they will take when they do your room its pretty disgusting.
