Review summary
Great cruise, ship, staterooms and common areas. Bermuda was amazing and everyone was so very friendly! And the specialty restaurants were AWESOME - Food Republic, Moderno, Teppanyaki, and Bayamo. Soft serve ice cream from the buffet was another late evening favorite! Try to make time for Fun Time Golf, it was pretty challenging and gorgeous views! Suggestions - music in staterooms - should slow down port info on room tv, hard to read it went by so fast-should sell more sundries and magazines and port guidebooks- fan rentals would be great for those of us who need the white noise to sleep!Embarkation
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
Moderno Churrascaria
We go to alot of rodizio restaurants but this was the absolute best ever. Loved the offerings, did not feel rushed.
O'Sheehan's Bar and Grill
Could use a slightly expanded menu but overall not bad for a 24/7 venue
Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville
Wonderful burger and fries. Wait staff super friendly, remembered what we drank the day before (what??) and the entertainment was worth sitting around to listen to as well. Relaxing on the water vibe - everything you imagine Margaritaville to be!
The Manhattan Room
Loved the venue, the entertainment was average but unobtrusive to that was a plus! The menu could have been a bit more inspired but overall, not bad. Staff was friendly and efficient. Coffee was always late coming to the table, what's up with that?
District Brew House
So very much fun and the craft beer list was extensive! You can get wine, drinks and Angry Orchard hard cider here as well. The entertainment and staff made it THE PLACE TO BE
Teppanyaki
Some of the best food of this type I have ever had. Super fresh fish, the rice was copious and the salad and soup were great. Could have used a few more veggies but that's just me!
Bayamo by Ocean Blue
The seafood was outstanding, service the same! Something for everyone, even those who do not enjoy seafood. Small and intimate.
Food Republic
All I can say is WOW - this might be some of the best food I have had on sea or land! And I loved the concept of ordering items on a touchscreen. Service was quick.
Onboard Activities
Entertainment
Headliners Comedy Club
Comedy shows were standard but the Howl at the Moon Dueling Pianos was the BEST. I loved the requests-only format. Very talented trio and they involved everyone in the crowd as well. A fun night. Wish we had done this earlier in the cruise - we would have returned a few more times.

Ship tip
Investigate what is available onboard long before your cruise. And book your restaurants in advance whenever possible. The library is a great quiet space for reading - and they have daily crossword puzzles, trivia games and Sudoku for those so inclined.
