Review summary
Weather was misty rain for first 3 days then sunny the rest. Balcony was wonderful especially to listen to the water at night with door open. It was entertaining during the daytime while on the ship and everyone was friendly.Embarkation
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
Q Texas Smokehouse
Brisket was great! The platter for 32 dollars would feed 2. Amazing desserts.
The Manhattan Room - Main Dining Room
Good choice of options, friendly staff.
Savor Restaurant - Main Dining Room
Comfortable setting, good food choices, good service.
Garden Cafe
Food was good every meal although we found out the earlier you go the better for seating. The peak times 9am- noon -6pm really hard to find a seat.
Onboard Activities
Encore Casino
My husband enjoyed the casino. It was a plus that it was non smoking. A separate room was allowed for smoking.
Sandbar
Needs to have more snacks. Ran out of candy bars on first day. Plenty of alochol but not much to offer as far as chips, chocolate, or something if you have the muchies.
