Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

menu has changed a lot. not as easy to find something great to eat. most beef dishes were excellent. 4 out of 8 days we ate at buffet. waiters keep saying they will get anything you need or want but not like it used to be. Food was usually just warm buffets were usually fresher and hotter. Chops grill was great in service and food

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

laser tag was a lot of fun. recommend any age to go and so far it is free. escape the rebicon was a lot of fun but pricey at $35 a person. (escape room) did not use anything else. fitness room was good

Entertainment

5 out of 5
