Review summary
The trip of a lifetime! We thoroughly enjoyed it. With so many varied ports we found it somewhat tiring but are very happy we did the cruise.Embarkation
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
Garden Café
Wonderful selection! Great when you want a quick meal. Food is buffet style and plentiful. Love the breads and ice cream. My husband liked their breakfasts and the overall variety and quality
La Cucina Italian Restaurant
Husband had fish mussels, clams and shrimp medley and liked it. I had sea bass which I didn’t care for. My mushroom risotto side was wonderful and my husband got the brussel sprouts which we both thought were spectacular. Asked for the recipe. We’re told the chef would send it to our stateroom. It never arrived though.
Cagney's Steakhouse
Excellent meal and service! I had a wonderful petite filet and my husband had surf and turf which he loved.
Savor Restaurant
Ate breakfast lunch and dinner as often as time allowed.
Shanghai's Noodle Bar
Quick good meal here before a show. Gets crowded later in the cruise so go early.
Sugarcane Mojito Bar
Had a good Mojito here.
The Manhattan Room Restaurant
Excellent main dining room. Great service!
The Tropicana Room (Main Dining Room)
Excellent!
Taste Restaurant
Ate here a few times. Good.
Syd Norman's Pour House
Did music trivia here. Fun
O'Sheehan's Neighborhood Bar and Grille
Had a quick good breakfast here and a late night excellent hamburger.
Ocean Blue by Geoffrey Zakarian
Excellent! I had surf and turf and my husband had a full lobster. Bothe were incredible! Great service!
Le Bistro French Restaurant
Both meals were excellent and the service was excellent.
Onboard Activities
Spa Thermal Suite
My husband absolutely loves the thermal spa. We both got the pass for the cruise. Nice place to go to read on sea days when masses of people are everywhere. Very relaxing.
Mandara Spa
I had a nice facial with a $50 off coupon.
Getaway Casino
My husband left a winner so he was happy. Good service and variety of machines. Smoking is allowed so I had trouble with my allergies when at the casino.
Spa Salt Room
Loved it! Used it daily.
Guest Services
Stopped a few times and they were always helpful.
Mini Golf
Fun. My husband and I played twice by ourselves due to cool weather.
Shore Excursion Desk
Helped get out diver discount on our shore excursions.
Photo Gallery
Found the photos too expensive. $25 per photo.
Pool
Cooler weather on this trip. Saw two girls in the pool all week.
Internet Café
Man there was very helpful with setting up our WiFi. Lots of people had problems. Probably because we were in a different country almost every day.
Entertainment
Dance Floor
Too small. During line dance classes you too squeezed together.
Getaway Theater
Nice venue
The Library
Too small! Very small room that also houses the card room. Two small bookcases.
Howl at the Moon
Husband liked it. Too loud for me.
Card Room
Unbelievably small and it shares the the library in a tiny room.
Burn the Floor
Very good dancers but it got repetitive after a while. Not our favorite.
