Onboard Activities

We used fitness center once. No assistance was offered to my handicap husband and very crowded so we never went again.

Entertainment

4 out of 5

The cast shows were excellent but others were just ok. The Theater was overcrowded and during one show, people sat down on the steps in the handicap seating area. We tried to explain to them it was handicap and should be clear but they refused to move.

Did not get an excursion and walked towards the center of town but everything was closed since too early in the morning. Suggest using ship excursion.
