Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Main dining rooms typical, not the best selection of entrees, every night felt appetizers were the best thing on menu. Did not use specialty restaurants but they looked well used when observed. Buffet food was good but not anything special.

Layout was ridiculous for a mini suite. You had to walk sideways to get between foot of bed and wall. Right side of bed had small shelf, no nightstand. Closet on right side of bed hard to access since door opened out and touched bed when opened. Shower/tub combo was too high to get in without step! Bathroom overall was one of the biggest we’ve experienced. Sliding glass door would not lock and came open several times by itself during stormy weather, creating a wind tunnel in room. Balcony walls had been sanded ? In preparation for painting ? But no painting occurred and white walls with multiple black areas is not the most eye appealing.
