We spent many nights at the Haven Restaurant and bar. The Staff went above and beyond. What a fantastic vacation. We also dined at 5 specialty restaurants. Cagneys was good, The Bistro, French Restaurant was ok. Teppenyaki was fun. Moderno was good. Ocean Blue was the best. The food was amazing.

Most slides, rock climbing wall and walk the plank was closed due to high winds.

Entertainment

The shows were just ok. We saw Six. Burn the Floor, Velvet. We saw a cpl of the comedy shows. They were all just ok. Syd Norman's Pour House was the best place for music. Classic Rock. We had a great time there...

Terrible place to dock. We got off ship and walked out of the port area. We were surrounded by very aggressive locals. Met an older woman who had been hugged by two men. She was frantic. We turned around and walked back to the ship.
