One for the books! Highs and lows but went with the flow and had the best time!Embarkation
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
Sugarcane Mojito Bar
Best place ever! The ginger mojito is a must try!
Shanghai's Noodle Bar
Let me say I love this place. But for some reason it's right next to the casino. I mean like they cut out a place in the casino to put this restaurant. There are no barriers to enclose the restaurant so while eating the good food your dying of second hand smoke inhalation. Get there early because there is always a wait. Ask for help with the menu because it can be confusing.
Ocean Blue by Geoffrey Zakarian
This was my first time at this place. It was good, the service was fine but I had to send my steak back twice before I just told them to forget it. I ordered it medium well and it was medium rare.
Savor Restaurant
This was the WORST experience ever. Made a reservation for two people and when we arrived it was another two hours to eat alone or we could be sat now at a group table.Opted for the group table, we sat down at 630pm. By 730pm we had just gotten our appetizers. No refill on drinks or coming by to check on us. I ordered the bruchetta and thinking I was gonna get several ones, nope I just got one and the Baggett it came on wasn't even toasted. Glad I ordered the salad but wait the waiter asks me "do I want the salad now?" You mean with my appetizers. Main course came at 830pm and we didn't leave till 9pm just in time for our 9pm show. We didn't do Taste due to this.

Ran out of Macaroons unfortunately before I could get some but the Bon Bons are good

Entertainment
Spice H2O
The bar is right in the smoker section and the pool should be heated but it was nice that it was at the back of the ship and secluded.
Burn the Floor
Dancing was good but wasn't what o was expecting. Was hard to follow the script.
Bliss Ultra Lounge
One of the better lounges never crowded nicely laid out
