beautiful. went on river float. wonderful experience. even though some of your view were the backyards of people's houses, you didn't even pay attention to that.

We had second seating. Lines were in the Lido. Very frustrating

Was this in the dining room or the Lido? Did your family have a set time for your dining or flex?
