Ship experiences
Food and Dining
O'Sheehan's Neighborhood Bar and Grille
Ate here often and tried their breakfast, lunch, and dinner, all great. I liked the atmosphere and it was easy to get a table.
Garden Café
Typical cruise buffet. Food was fresh and buffet was clean. Almost always crowded, but not unexpected. The did have coconut ice cream, which is my favorite...so that was a nice surprise.
Mixx Bar
Nice place to have a drink before a meal. Fast service and delicious drinks.
Taste Restaurant
Typical cruise food, exceptional service. I noticed that both main dining rooms always offered the best table available. I felt very welcome and taken care of.
Waves Pool Bar
Busy, but good drinks.
Sugarcane Mojito Bar
By far my favorite. Amazing drinks, fresh, creative, absolutely delicious. Wonderful service and great location.
Savor Restaurant
Typical cruise food, exceptional service. I noticed that both main dining rooms always offered the best table available. I felt very welcome and taken care of.
Atrium Bar
Enjoyed morning drinks here...fun to sit at the bar and watch the entertainment.
Onboard Activities
Public Sundeck
Clean, but ended up not staying long because chairs were facing in so the view was behind me. Would have enjoyed spending time there watching the ocean, but not possible.
The Collection Art Gallery
As an artist myself, I didn’t expect much...actually thought I’d see above-the-sofa art, and while there was some, there was so much more. Very interesting and high quality pieces from extremely talented artists. I loved walking through the gallery and how they changed the art at least once a day. A highlight of the ship, to be sure.
Getaway Casino
Only walked through, but the smoke smell made the whole area seem dirty and uninviting.
Entertainment
The Atrium
Fun place to hang out and a variety of events. I do think the seating could be improved to accommodate more people and be less congested though. Did like the seating bar above...nice way to watch what was going on.

Ship tip
Get up early and sit out on the waterfront. Comfortable seating and very peaceful and serene.
