Review summary
Enjoyed our trip , a little disappointed in activities , and that to enjoy a lot or see a lot you have to spend extra money on excursions or Lyfts, taxi or renting cars to get out of the industrial area to towns . Loved our room, service and staff . Food is just ok. But editableEmbarkation
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
Skyline Restaurant
This is the only dining room that has breakfast , you do not need reservation for any meals in the dining room . We had a great breakfast here , servers were good and no long waits .
Liberty Restaurant
We had a great server she was very informative as well for excursions. Dinner was good . No reservations needed just show up and they seat you .
Mardi Gras Cabaret Lounge & Nightclub
So you think this would be a busy night life place , very disappointed . We had some shows in here which were fun , laua making class, but the evening music or dancing didn’t exist DJ was back there playing music but only 5 ppl even in the Mardi Gras . A lot older crowd who i think had bedtimes lol . I’m 51 and I stay up later but it is what it is . They had a band the wav but no one wanted to dance and everyone just sat around . Even the activity ppl were out dancing on floor trying to get ppl to interact , and only got 3 ppl out there .
Key West Bar & Grill
This bar we had a few problems with tried to get drink lady server there right in front of us but she kept doing orders all around us and would never meet my sister with eye contact and when we got her attention she said she can’t make drinks , umm why are you behind the bar if you can’t make a drink . Just real rude . We never went back there again . We are polite ppl and patient but even we could tell she had a problem . So avoid here if you want good service . Or maybe she might be in a better mood when your on ship and get better service .
Aloha Café
This is a hit and miss , food was like warm, so many ppl on here and I’m going to say if your a polite person , be prepared to run into the impolite ppl and entitled here. I met more rude ppl then polite and respectful . Not meaning workers they were all awesome and very helpful , I’m speaking of passengers .
Dolce Gelato
This place runs out of ice within the first 2-3 hours they open so if you want a shaved ice get it first thing when they open , it’s was a big disappointment to run out of ice ,
Moderno Churrascaria
Ok this was our specialty dining , so this is a first salad bar , but really didn’t have stuck we eat on our salads so we didn’t try the stuff except lettuce and cucumbers. Then you flip over your coaster and they come with every meat in the place and cut slivers off for you , you can have as much as you want but be prepare most of these are bloody meats if you like it a little more cooked you will need to ask them
Cadillac Diner
Food good but 2nd time not as good very busy in here so expect a wait . Milk shakes are good you do have to pay 4$ for them
John Adam's Coffee Bar
So this was our bar of choice the bar tenders were awesome , attentive and you never sat long with a empty glass , if you love coffee the is a expresso martini you need to try , my sister was hooked , hits with a punch but alert due to the expresso. Amaretto sours were great.
Gold Rush Saloon
Drinks were great and 9p-11pm karaoke was awesome

Ship tip
Make this all about relaxation or do excursions at every port. This is as they say a floating hotel with food included but not alot of activities but if you like laying around at pool and on balcony or even napping it’s good , but for 5000$ each person , it should have more just my opinion.
