Let me preface this review by saying that we got what we paid for, and our expectations were met, if not exceeded in some areas. We got a great deal on a midship balcony cabin, we ate well, we laughed, we had a massage, and that was really all we could ask for on a quick 3 day trip such as this.
Friday 8/22:
We pulled into the garage at 12:35, and we were at the restaurant reservation desk by 12:55. A word to the wise, if you want to try Cagney's (which I suggest you do), make your reservation early, so that you don't get stuck with a 5:30 or 10:00 option. We proceeded from there to the spa to make our massage appointments for Sunday. They offer a 20% discount for services on the day of embarkation, but we preferred to explore on Day 1. Had lunch at the Garden Cafe. Turkey burgers, hummus, and pretzel rolls were very good. It is what it is...it's a buffet with many different selections, and that's it. We ate in Cagney's that night at 6:45, as we wanted to make the 9:00 show. The food was very good. For $20, it was amazing! Where can you go and have an Ahi Tuna Carpaccio appetizer, a caesar salad, a 10 oz. filet, white truffle french fries, warm apple crisp w/ ice cream and Bananas Foster for $20? Nowhere!!! Is it the SAME exact quality as The Palm or Ruth's Chris, no. Was it very good and a steal for the price, absolutely! The comedian, Tim Kaminski, is very funny. We saw him that night and then again on Sunday. Both performances had us laughing the whole time. We stopped by Carnival, but we were tired, and not in the mood to dance and listen to the Latin music. Saturday 8/23:
