Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
The specialty restaurants were amazing! The buffets were very good. The main dining room was great for breakfast, but not for dinner... I could't even eat my fish...but the atmosphere was great. Decided to eat dinner at O'Sheehans or the buffet on the nights we didn't have specialty dinner reservations.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Pool and pool music was great; mini golf was great, jogging track was great...music all around the ship was great...newlywed game was great.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
OMG, the Choir of Man and the After Midnight shows were amazing, as was the comedians, the singers The Knights, etc., etc.

Children's Programs

I have no children.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
The bed was extremely comfortable, size was good, cabin was spotless...loved everything about it.

Ship tip

Hmmm....it's a great ship...eat in the dining room for breakfast, the garden cafe for lunch, and try most of the specialty restaurants as they were terrific, especially Bayamo and La Cucina; for a very casual dinner, try O'Sheehans

We don't eat in the speciality venues. Not worth it because it cost too much and we don't get the package. We like eating in the MDR.

Great review and happy you had such a good cruise. We were on the Escape last October and are going back next month. We loved the ship and Bermuda, amazing how the next review said it was horrible and they were on the same cruise. Go figure!!!
