Review summary

Freestyle cruising means you get to pay to go to the nicer restaurants on board, Cagney's steak house can set you back $35/person if you want surf and turf and the food was no better than regular cruise food. They close some of the eating spots, i.e. ice cream bar, some buffets during times people were looking to eat. Bottles of wine were outrageously expensive, overall a big disappointment.
