Aloha Cafe was the buffet - open most of the day. Frankly this was a pleasant surprise, several items the whole family found to be very good and worthy of having again and again. That's the good news.

The disappointments start with the bar service - on several occasions I showed my unlimited soda plan card to the bartender and he then actively ignores me, serving other customers until I left in disgust. Not the type to make a scene myself. Not just my experience - brother in law ordered beers and was left standing at the bar for 20 minutes when the tender went off and disappeared. In one of the shows waitress took my room key to run a tab and then LEFT THE ROOM. Went to work a different bar and kept my room key in her pocket. I was left steaming at the bar for 30 minutes until a supervisor could track her down. Meanwhile my mother-in-law, wheelchair bound - wanted desperately to leave the tacky show that was going on but we were stuck there until I could get my room key back. Exceptionally poor bar service demonstrated in several bars and shows over the entire week. I think the only hope of getting any good bar service is to tip cash with every drink - the gratuity plan where you pay end of week just isn't enough to get the attention of the bar and wait staff on this boat.

Entertainment on our particular cruise was not up to the quality of several other cruises we've done. Two shows hosted by the staff were really lame attempts to occupy guests while not spending money to hire actual talent. Poor taste, tacky, and lame --battle of the sexes, not so newly wed game, magic show, comedian--all were sub-par.
