It woke us in the morning and occasionally kept us up at night.

We never had any trouble finding seating anywhere and never had any problems with long lines or waiting for anything. Attendants of every kind were always available and willing. The buffet area is perhaps not the most sensible arrangement, but it worked just fine for us. Read more
