Review summary
Overall, the cruise was nice. Our weather was fantastic and everyone said it was not the norm. We had a nice time, but service was lacking. For the price, I expected more. I was told the ship was only at 60% occupancy, but can't confirm. Having to reserve seats for the shows was nonsense. We ate at the upgraded restaurants each night, and they weren't that special.Embarkation
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
The Observation Lounge
Service was slow, but the ambience was great
The Local Bar & Grill
It's just a bar with bar food...nothing special
Teppanyaki
Good food and entertainment. The service was lacking, and they didn't have any Asian beer...LAME
Sugarcane Mojito Bar
This place makes some tasty drinks...but ask for a double, they are kinda weak
Q Texas Smokehouse
Honestly, we didn't eat there. We only enjoyed the drinks and the Utley band
Ocean Blue
Cant go wrong with this place...the fresh fish was the best
Los Lobos
The food was great, I even got a skull mug...but the service was just OK
Le Bistro
This was an awesome spot...everything was great
La Cucina
We actually ate there twice. The food was pretty good...but where was the Veal Parmigiana?

It was pretty good. I can't say that it was superb

Ship tip
This ship ports in places that need longer travel times from each port to the excursions etc. This messed up our chance to see the cities etc. What a bummer.
