Reflections Restaurant

5 out of 5

Delicious! A great selection of menu items. I was able to try new foods, especially with themed nights. I also felt like royalty. I am always the one to serve others so I felt like I was the one being honored every time I ate in the Reflections Dining Room. The atmosphere was nice, decorating very clean for fine dining including the shades that would go up and down depending on the incoming sun.

Windjammer Cafe

I enjoyed the different food options. Always keeping food hot and wiping tables to make available for the next guests.

Centrum

I enjoyed the tribute to our military very much! What a nice touch!I also was intrigued and loved learning about the different countries represented by the employees. I didn’t sit in the best position for the flag ceremony but still enjoyed it.

Tropical Theater

5 out of 5

Truly enjoyed the shows. I was fascinated by how coordinated they were, especially singing and dancing at the same time not counting staying with each other. Great job!Jeff Tracta was a hoot! Glad he kept it clean and welcomed the young guy up on stage with him at the end.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Super friendly and helpful! No matter how many questions I asked or how many times I saw them, they always acknowledged us. They were very respectful.

Ship Quality

I loved being able to walk out on the side decks covered from the above deck. It was nice to walk outside without being in the direct sun all the time. There wasn’t anything out of place or dirty that I ever noticed. I liked how the main elevators were glass so you didn’t feel so closed in.

Cabin / Stateroom

Always clean. Perfect location for me. We requested a smaller pillow and we received it without hesitation. Just cozy.
