Review summary

The ship is going into drydock for refurbishing in April.  Badly needs it.

Entertainment by Ensemble company is very amateur.  Individual entertainers were top notch.  Food in the main dining room;  chaotic, inedible mostly for dinner; and poorly served.  Dining in the specialty dining room;  Pinnacle was excellent and easily compared to fine dining on land.  Cost $35/pp.  We ate in this dining room 5/7 nights.  Bought a bottle of Ruffino Pinot Grigio (cost on land $8)  on ship with gratuity $51.  Bring your own wine and pay the $18/bottle corkage.  Can save a bundle.  We were in Suite and had a Concierge Lounge which was excellent.

We live in San Diegol and the Cruise was a no brainer.
