FOOD:

Do not expect your food to taste great. The buffet was the same food everyday. We only ate breakfast and a few quick lunches there. It was extremely frustrating to find a table at the buffet. We found a table first and took turns going to get food. Usually, we just went into the Italian restaurant to sit despite the long walk back to the buffet. The coffee was usually cold and long lines for ice tea. The cups are extremely small. The plates and portions are small for a good reason. There are no trays for a good reason, too. Desserts are really bad with the exception of the ice cream.

Forget the chocolate buffet night. Long line, crowded and no taste.

Cabin Review

Mid-Ship Balcony

Cabin BA

Cabins 10108 and 10110 were very clean. This room was a connecting room with our teens since we prefer to travel using two bathrooms to get ready. Awesome views. Comfortable chairs. Quiet rooms. Temperature control perfect. As usual cabins are small. Drawers and shelves and closet available. Liked the shower had a sliding door instead of curtain. Shower had unscented low suds shampoo and body soap. Toilet had sliding door but it was very very tight even for us "normal weight watchers type." Chair rail always in view if sitting down. TV programming was very limited and basically useless as a form of entertainment. Coffee maker and hair dryer provided. The bottle of water was $6 plus gratuity. Two or more pillows available. Black out curtains on windows. Don't expect chocolates at night on your bed next to the towel animal. Remember to change the sign on the door to make up room when you leave. Great access to elevators and food. BEST ADVICE: Lift bed to slide luggage underneath and out of the way.
