Ship experiences
Food and Dining
Los Lobos
I called this upscale Mexican. Quite fancy compared to any other Mexican restaurant I have been to. Proportions are generous. Don’t have a big lunch if you’re planning on coming here for dinner!
Q Texas Smokehouse
Service was outstanding! The BBQ itself is good, but lacks the flavor that slow smoked BBQ typically has. That said, the seasonings offered at the table help punch it up. The live music was also a nice treat.
Savor Restaurant - Main Dining Room
A nice venue for when you want something nicer than the buffet, but not as fancy as specialty dining. The food was decent.
Garden Cafe
Hit and miss. Some items are fantastic. Others bland or stale. Tastes of India was consistently good.
Le Bistro French Restaurant
Good food and service. The entrees (appetizers) are small and personal sized. Be sure to order a few if you plan to share.
The Local
Kind of like eating at Denny’s. Honestly I preferred the buffet.
The District Brew House
A nice variety of beer. Laid back environment.
Sugarcane Mojito Bar
Delicious ginger mojitos! If you have the beverage package don’t expect to get much alcohol in your mixed drinks at any bar onboard, however. We ended up switching mostly to beer or 2 ingredient drinks to get a bigger bang for our buck. Still, very tasty!
Starbucks
Order a latte! The baristas enjoy creating latte art! Loved the little foam bears they made!
Cagney's Steakhouse
Cagney’s was by far my favorite dining experience. The atmosphere, food, drinks and service were all top notch. Definitely a must do!

Ship tip
Skip the mixed drinks. While they’re tasty, they’re mostly sugar water.
