Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Food in MDRwas never hot. Portions were small but you could always order more. We ate in Rudi’s, La Cucina, Teppanyaki, and Emeril’s and the food was great in all 4.

Bonsai Teppanyaki

5 out of 5

Excellent. Food and Chef were great

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

Bolt was great fun. Also did golf, water slides and rock climbing wall, all were good.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

This is where I thought it was lacking. Shows were boring. The one I did enjoy was the magician in the main dining room. He was very good

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Our room stewardess Mary Joy was just wonderful!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

The public bathroom entrance are awful! People don’t know to close the door behind them. So you are out there for all the world to see.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Our cabin was always clean. The doors could be wider.

Ship tip

If you want hot food eat at Emeril’s
