Creator's Key Takeaways

This Java Blue was well staffed. There was always two or more staff members in there.

That whole atmosphere of that area we thought was great.

The drink service in the casino was immaculate.

The seating in the main dining room. The ship is small. So, in the main dining room, the seating is really cramped.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Speak up if you have problems on a ship; address issues with staff directly rather than going to guest services.
Check in via the app for main dining room and then request a non-booth table if you have seating concerns.
If you have mobility issues, ask for help with the long boarding walk from the terminal to the seventh floor.
