Review summary
My favorite part of this cruise was we upgraded to a room with loft 19. We were almost always the only ones in the hot tubs up there which means we got to know our servers personally. They were phenomenalEmbarkation
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
Fortune Teller Bar
The drinks were good. I only say good because they are extremely strong, which is definitely better than paying for the drink package and getting a weak drink!
Street Eats
We kept forgetting about this place as it’s kind of kidder. We got fries here once and they were delicious! We also got wings through room service that was free with the suite. Coming from NY we never expect much because nothing lives up to our Buffalo wings. But these wings were some of the best wings we ever had outside of WNY! Reminded us of home!
Fahrenheit 555 Steakhouse
We got the baked onion soup, lobster bisque and ribeye steaks. My husband and I both agreed that it was the best steak we have ever had. My only advice is to go early on so you’re not bloated from a week of eating junk food. Also if you go earlier you can take your left overs back to your room and snack on them throughout the next day.
Alchemy Bar
Staff was always friendly and welcoming. We got to know the servers well and were invited to an invite only mixology class
Big Chicken by Shaq
I’ve read a lot of mixed reviews about this, but it was absolutely delicious! Especially the shaq sauce!!
Chibang!
We ate here on the first day. It was great!
Rudi's Seagrill
We got Parmesan crusted scallops, lobster bisque, fisherman’s soup, and crab stuffed lobster. It was all delicious!!
Guy's Pig & Anchor Bar-B-Que
The smoked brisket was delicious! Especially when you consider that they have to make it in bulk to feed thousands. You have to stop at least once for lunch! Best on Sundays to catch a game!
Guy's Burger Joint
The first thing we do when we get on every cruise is get a drink and a guys burger!! Always the best!!
Bar della Rosa
We got coffee here every morning! Staff was always friendly and greeted us with a smile ever day! Some of the best lattes ever. I would recommend the white chocolate latte!

Ship tip
Don’t book excursions until you get to port! There are always other one of vendors selling excursions. It’s helpful because you never know what the weather is going to be. Always be friendly to staff!!
