Review summary
The cruise was great. Our only complaints were no deck chairs because people saved them and were never sitting in them. The events in the atrium were hard to get seats for, but when you did it was always worth it. Too hard to get reservations for the comedy shows. Even though we enjoy the smaller ships, this was an overall great cruise.Embarkation

Food and Dining
Savor
They accommodated our large party, with pleasure. They brought out a birthday cake and sang to our daughter one night and again to our niece the third night.
O'Sheehan's Bar and Grill
We did not care for this restaurant. We went in for lunch, the waiter only brought out half of our meals, and they brought the appetizers and main course at the same time. One of our party received his meal when the rest of us were almost done.
The Manhattan Room
The music and the food were great
Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville
Great nachos and margaritas!
Atrium Bar
We sat at the bar a few times while at a show or trivia. The bartenders were very attentive.
5 O'Clock Somewhere Bar
Great we always had fun there.
Onboard Activities
Escape Casino
Had many of the games our group liked. It did however only have a small non-smoking area.
Tradewinds Shops
Everyone was helpful and friendly.
Mini Golf
The kids all loved it.
Hot Tubs
Always had kids in them, making it hard to get to, even in the evening.
Entertainment
Escape Theater
The theater was large and accommodating.
Children's Programs
Kids' Aqua Park
Excellent, we all had a great time using the slides. The pools were too small for the amount of people

My niece and nephew loved it. Our toddler nephew went to guppies and also had a wonderful time.
