Review summary

Plan to spend at see days in your room. Not enough activities. I have no desire to sit in bars and lounges to listen to live music or play trivia games all days. Needed more shows and entertainment, such as more musicals, plays, and comedies. There was only one 40 minute performance in the theater per day.

Not enough complimentary food options. Buffet selection was bad; same food provided nearly every day.

Service and Staff

2 out of 5
We hardly ever saw our steward. I asked for an extra pillow on day 1, it took until day 3 and multiple reminders before I got the pillow. Empty glasses and dishes were never removed from the room.
