Sail Date: Jul 2017
Cabin: Family Interior Stateroom
Traveled with children

The buffet was really good, and the main dining room was good... although wait staff in general were lethargic and seemed to be sedated. Also, we bought the 3 night dining package and the Chef's table package... the 3 night package is not necessary, as the main dining room food is pretty good! And I guess don't tip the specialty restaurants, because they will charge the tip for the dining staff at the end every day, regardless how many days you eat there or not. Overall, the dining staff lacked any enthusiam and seemed like zombies, sluggishly picking up empty plates, really not engaging with people or trying to "go the extra mile". The Chef's table was expensive, but was really good, and made for a great experience.

Flowrider and Rock climbing are only open about 3-4 hours/day, and the times are random.

Overall, shows were great (stage shows), including (especially) the magician, quartet, juggler and the singers/dancers. The guy in the pub was great, too.

Cabin Review

Family Interior Stateroom

We had an adjoining cabin for our kids, which was perfect, although it meant we had to buy 2 cabins. But it was really nice.
