My daughter and I traveled together. We had an amazing time and enjoyed both the cruise and the excursions!

Food was good, especially our dinners at Cagney's and East Meets West.

We were busy with excursions so didn't have much time for extras.

Entertainment

4 out of 5

Saw two of Tim Kaminski's (?sp) performances. Glad we were able to see his second to last show.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

The staff at the buffet were especially very friendly and courteous. Almost everyone said hello or aloha as we passed them in the halls.

Loved the balcony! Stewards came in every day, but forgot to empty the bathroom receptacle.

Sorry! Thought I had double-checkex everything before submitting. The food should have 4 stars. I accidentally erased some as I was scrolling through.
