Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
There are 3 main dining rooms, including the 2-story Manhattan room. Plus a 24 hour pub and the buffet. And that is just the "free" options. The specialty dining is also amazing.

The Local

5 out of 5

24 hour food. Just the place for after the shows, or to eat while a band is playing in the Atrium.

Food Republic

5 out of 5

Awesome menu and dining experience, can get 4 items with a dining credit, or spend money. Either way worth it!

Sugarcane Mojito Bar

5 out of 5

Spent a lot of time here. The Mojitos are awesome, and the couch in the corner is a great place to read and enjoy a drink.

The Manhattan Room - Main Dining Room

5 out of 5

Beautiful dining room suitable for any special occasion, or just dinner.

Teppanyaki

My favorite restaurant in the ship. The food is amazing, and the act makes it fun.

Los Lobos

5 out of 5

Great authentic Mexican food. Guacamole made fresh at table side.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Lots of things to do. I loved the painting classes, the comedy nights, the Broadway quality shows, the spa with thermal suite, sitting on my balcony. It was a cold cruise, so the pool was closed, but it looked nice. I didn't try the gaming pavilion, but folks who did had a good time.

Observation Lounge

5 out of 5

Nice place for quite time. They serve light meals and snacks. Lots of little conversation books with great views.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Stage shows were amazing. Saw Kinky boots, the acts were Broadway quality.

Cabin / Stateroom

The cabin was clean and beautiful. USB charge ports on each side of the bed, the bathroom was nice.

Ship tip

Don't try to see everything. There is too much. I was on for 9 days with no port stops, and still didn't get everywhere...

Curious on the crossing that time of year, what were the seas like? 5 days of rollers? Smooth? Curious, as I want to do one but am terrified it will be roller coaster the whole time
