Ship experiences

Food and Dining

Food was just ok. I ate at the Pinnacle Grill and Tamarind restaurants and thought the Tamarind was good enough to go twice. Pinnacle was good but not great.

Pickleball was lots of fun

Thoroughly enjoyed the Billboard Onboard piano duo but the trivia games became really morning. I enjoyed the dance shows on the World Stage.
