Best to pay as much as you can before leaving, speciality dining, shore excursions ect. Specialty dining needs to be planned out an reservation for each seating are recommended especially if your tring to catch a show. Be aware of hidden costs above the 12 dollar a day manditory gratituity.
If you go to the Howl at the Moon show, make sure you bring some singles to get your song played. Howl at the Moon is a cool dual piano show where the 2 musicians take requests from the audience. However, I noticed in order to get your song played the request needed to come with at least a $1 tip!
We did enjoy the freestyle dining. while the buffet looked good, we felt as though we really were out for dinner rather than a mass production cattle call on the buffet. Deck 16 had the best selection for adult breakfast with Spanish style toast, cook to order station and fruit etc.
Try and go to all the shows and def attend the game shows. Avoid peak hours at Dinner in the dining rooms. Go early, so if you don't like the menu, you always find something delicious at the buffet! The water park is always better after 5 p.m. to avoid the crowds.
The illusionarium show is a must go. Cost is ~39 dollars a person but the show and food is definitely worth it. Been to some magic shows in Vegas and this was right there with them.
Upgraded dinner package is worth it. Spinning class was great. Excursions were nice and good price but crowded. Get out early if you want a good chair by the pool.
The service was not as friendly as on their other ships. 24 hours a day kids were running up and down the halls and thumping around in the cabins above us. The dining and entertainment was great!
Try having dinner at the Tropicana. Live entertainment every night including the cast from Burn the Floor. Try the Flamingo aft on the 16th floor. Great Latin food.
Just try everything...the slides, ropes course, putt putt, kids programs, all the restaurants you have time too, howl at the moon, adult area on back of ship and all the dance parties...and most especially the spa area for a fee for the week...most relaxing place on board!
