Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
We ate a lot of the places on board The main dining room was amazing with friendly staff We ate at wonderland and it was something not to be missed! If you are going to eat at one specialty place on the ship I would pick this one We also ate at Jame’s also a really good place to eat. For breakfast we ate at lot at the buffet, always easy to find a place to sit and the food was always good and easy to find something to eat.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Their was always something to do if you want to! We are active people and their was always something to do. The gym was well equipped for work outs but like most gyms their is a busy time. The iFly is not to be missed! For bumper cars get their early! As the line gets long and wait time can be over an hr on the later sea days

Entertainment
