But once they fixed the engine the vacation was great. Excellent food, didn't bother going to the dining room since they always featured the specials in the buffet too, loved the prime rib, beef wellington and all the ethnic food themes. Excellent breakfasts, lunches were broken up by a good pub lunch in the wheelhouse pub on a sea day, pizza that I'm still craving terribly, and pretty decent cheeseburgers and grilled chicken sandwiches at the grill. Also loved going to the international cafe for lighter fare like chicken salad, sandwiches soups, greek salad and some of the best chocolate deserts I've had. My husband got a soda card, but I was pretty happy with iced tea, lemonade, and orange juice for breakfast. I liked the ethnic themes for food at night. Really made it varied. Fresh fruit and vegetables were always available.
Thought I would be going to the movies under the stars at night alot but ended up watching a lot of the movies on the big screen during the day, often in the pool. Liked watching Mama mia while I kind of did water aerobics in the pool. being a bit geeky my husband and I enjoyed watch Star Trek one late afternoon as well. Watched lots of movies in the cabin too. Really liked the romance channel and the old movies. Didn't care too much for the shows, although they had talented dancers and singers, liked those better on Carnival. What we did really enjoy though were the comics. Very definately recommend those particularly the Michael guy who does comedy/magic. He was hilarious. Show just got funnier and funnier as it went on. Not for kids though. Don't know why parents would bring little ones when it clearly stated pg 13.
I also enjoyed the parties at various locations where they would teach you group dances and have various contests. I especially liked the aloha party around the pool, that was fun. highly recommend you try one of these.
