A decent vacation, but could have been better

Main Dining Room

Service was great but the food was not. Glad we only came here on lobster night, although the lobster was pretty bad too, mushy and tasteless. My molten lava cake was cold and solid in the middle, and when I brought it up to the head waiter, he insisted that that was how it was supposed to be. Very odd.

Playmakers℠ Sports Bar & Arcade

Amazing service, if you see Reinan, give him a shout and a big tip! He remembered our names and called out to us every time he saw us. Also order the sushi nachos, I'm not a big sushi fan but it was absolutely delicious.

Chop's Grille

The most delicious branzino I've ever had! Crispy skin, tender flakey meat. Incredibly flavorful, they didn't skimp on the seasoning! My husband had the lamb chops and really enjoyed it.

150 Central Park

Very classy, the waiters are very personable. Food was great, although I have had better on land for a comparable cost. My friends with the unlimited dining package ended up eating here 3 times over our 7 day cruise and loved it every time.

Park Cafe

Decent lattes if you have the drink package and don't want to spend money at Starbucks. The roast beef sandwiches that everybody raves about were, in a word... Disappointing. Thick chunks of cold fatty beef that didn't really resemble roast beef at all.

Windjammer Marketplace

The food was decent. Lots of options. Kinda wish it was better though.

Bionic Bar®by Mark Shakr

It's a cool gimmick the first time. But the options are bare bones, at best you can mix together a few different types of alcohol and a splash of coke. No syrups or garnishes other than a tiny lime wedge. Towards the end of our cruise, when the bars were watering down drinks, this place was packed because you don't have to worry about robot arms skimping on the alcohol.

Sorrento's Pizza

Considering it's open 24 hours, the pizza was surprisingly good. They're even willing to make you a custom pizza for free. The cold bar options were hit or miss, but mostly good. The bar consistently made strong drinks!

Globe and Atlas Pub

Lovely atmosphere, friendly bartenders. Met a lot of interesting people here.

Izumi Hibachi & Sushi

We did the hibachi. We go to a lot of hibachi places on land and this was one of the tastiest experiences. The chef made an "anaconda" with the rolled up egg omelet, that was really cute. The special cocktails were good too. And delicious mochi ice cream for dessert!

Flowrider

Felt like a pay to play type activity. One side only allows you to surf on your knees and you need to do it a few times (aka wait in line over and over for hours) to be able to try the other side that lets you stand up. However you only get ONE try to stand up to get the unlimited bracelet, no practicing (unless you count your one try?) and if you can't do it, you have to pay $65 for a training course to have unlimited access. So if you already know how to surf, it's a fun free activity. If you thought you were gonna be able to learn how to surf for free on a cruise, nope.

Solarium

Love that they have an adults only pool area. During the day it's your best shot at getting in a pool without the massive crowds. Multiple hot tubs to choose from with great views.

AquaTheater

The new crew did amazing, minus a few hiccups with technical difficulties. We got to meet the headliner who does the tightrope, Niko! He shares an uncanny resemblance to my husband and was more than happy to take a picture together and talk about his past experiences performing on cruises.
