Review summary
Loved the ship and suite services. About 6200 guests sailed. Elevator performance stressed and there were long waits. Up to 20 minutes. Abled body cad use stairs but many with strollers, walkers and wheelchairs. RCL needs to fix this on next Gen ships.Embarkation
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
150 Central Park
Found this to be the best experience. Food very good and service better than other venues. They had issues with attentiveness and keeping water glasses filled.
Chops Grille
Food mediocre and service poor. Spent 2 hrs for a lunch and 11/2 at dinner. Server would just disappear.
Wonderland
Exotic dishes with entertaining staff. Much of the muni offers deconstructed menu items. Unique
Playmakers Sports Bar & Arcade
Love use onion rings and wings. Best sports bar on the ship.
Coastal Kitchen
Food was good but service very poor. Not a meal we had that our order required a “go back”. We ordered a margarita flatbread on day and on the underside, had blue materiel. Called chef and he admitted they put it on a dirty pastry tray. Fail! Most of the service staff was very passive - no energy. Bar staff was the high point in the suite area.
Izumi
Typical hibachi dinner. Ample portions and attentive service. Too much use of soy over seasoned the food.
Hooked Seafood
One of our favorites. Nice selection of seafood. We ate a lot of raw oysters. The shucker was overwhelmed and had issues keeping up with demand. Service very attentive.
Park Cafe
Nice selection for breakfast or lunch and not overly crowded. Service was good.
Johnny Rockets
Hamburger fast food good for what it is. Service was actually the most attentive here.
Suite Lounge
Excellent hor’douvres for happy hour. Bar staff great, but could not keep enough bottle water on hand for guests. Venue is too small for number of suite and pinnacle guests.
Giovanni's Italian Kitchen
Mediocre food and lax staff .
