Ship experiences
Food and Dining
Wonderland
My husband and I split the review on this one. I would suggest eat what they bring you. If you have food allergies tell them before starting so they can modify it. I liked it a lot. My husband not so much. Food was good but if you are hungry eat before you go. You get several courses but very small portions. The Wonderland bar was great. Different drinks from anyway on the ship. The experience was great with Mad Hatter from Alice and Wonderland. Just go to see how far you can go down the rabbit hole with blue pill in your drink or red pill in your drink.
Cafe Promenade
Next to guest service, you can get specialty coffee here.
Solarium Bistro
Had breakfast there a few times. Not crowded spot and directly about the restaurant hook
Park Cafe
Breakfast was always fast and not crowd which was plus for us. I stopped by several times for roast beef sandwich. No lines
Bionic Bar
It is must see. Good drink but no conversation
Hooked Seafood
Seafood lovers remember to come hungry. We should have skipped a meal before coming for dinner or skipped the appetizers. I had lobster with stuffed crab. I am still thinking about it because it was so good. The service was great excellent. The maitre d and our server Franky was great. He guided us to right selections
Playmakers℠ Sports Bar & Arcade
Located at Aft of ship next to Aqua show. You can see sports games. Food was ok
English Pub
They had make your own Bloody Mary special each day.
El Loco Fresh℠
I was surprise they served breakfast. Lunch was good spot which is next to sport level
Chop's Grille
Good steaks.
Dog House
Great overall with variety of beef, polish sausages, even veggie dog.
Boleros Bar
I did not care for this bar. The service was slow
Onboard Activities
Center Ice Rink
My husband and I ice skated during free ice skiing time. I have not ice skated in years. Small rung but they had 45 min increments so it few people on the ice. We were key members and forgot to go to the time allocated for key members but it worked out. We got served by the cast members of ice skating shows.
Vitality at Sea Spa
My hair was wreck after pool and snorkeling in salt water. I got my hair wash and styled in hair salon. Did a great job with 45 minutes in an out.
Entertainment
Royal Theatre
We saw Hairspray and Flight: Dare to Dream. Hairspray was more than 5 stars I could have given it. Dare to Dream was good but had technical difficulties and had to stop the show so I did not get to see the end,
AquaTheater
Liked HIRO aqua show.

Ship tip
Reserve all shows in advance. The key was good for getting on and off plus it has internet included. The key was worth at least for internet and lunch the first day.
