First the Food: Cagneys steak house excellent. La Cuccina very good. O'Sheehans very good (open around the clock). Taste ( main dining room) fair. Ate there 3 times. slow service and messed up orders twice. food cold. Buffet about what you would expect. good selection. hard to find a seat most times. great deserts and ice cream. Ate at Manhattan room(other main dining room) only once. Very slow service and so-so food.(cold soggy lasagna,Yuck)I would give food on Epic 3 stars,

The Entertainment: Cirque show excellent. The meal (surf and turf) ok. had upcharge floor seating. very close to the action. We happened to get there about 25 minutes early and glad we did as 6 of the 10 people that sat at our table were already seated and had appetizers. Burn the Floor show amazing. get there early as long lines form. (make sure you make reservations as soon as they are offered as the shows fill up fast. Some you can make online before you cruise and some you cant. but as soon as you settle into your cabin (our cabin was ready at 2pm) go on your tv and make reservations. there are standby lines for most shows also if you cant get reservations. We saw a lady singer (Nora something) in the headliners club one night and wife really enjoyed it. Pricilla queen show was high quality production but not really my cup of tea.( drag queen show) but a lot of people really enjoyed it. Glow show on Thursday night in spice H2O area was pretty good.I would give entertainment 5 stars.

Embarkation line was very long but moved at a good pace. Took about an hour and 15 minutes to get onboard. Disembarkation was smooth until you get to baggage claim which is a madhouse. after I found our bags I hired a porter to assist us and we sailed right thru (best 20 bucks I spent)

Cabin Review

Balcony

Cabin BE

as stated above cramped but functional. plenty of room under beds for suitcases. balcony was nice as we slept with door open most nights for the sea breeze.
