Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Employees were outstanding, except for the "Tambourine Man". Every morning (after a late party night) Mr. Tambourine Man pounded on his tambourine as we entered the hall for Breakfast. I asked him several times to stop and I asked several "Officers" to ask him to stop, however he played all morning...every morning....12 mornings!

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Got to use the Slide once. Pool usually closed and too cold.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Long lines and small venues. We stood in line for an hour or more and then were rejected and told the venue was full. Some guests sat on the floor at one venue while the Epic Theatre was "dark". Singer/Dancers were outstanding...especially Ella !!

Children's Programs

No children with us......after this exprience....we won't take anyone on this ship!

Manhattan dining room waiters were outstanding as was our cabin steward Francis Palaming.
