The omelette took extra time and they had to run out to McDonald's for the hash browns. Disappointing MEH! Copyright © 2025 Timothy B. Burleson under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 4.0 International License.

I decided to explore. This is deck 7 aka the Promenade. You can walk all the way around the ship but it does include two flights of stairs to make a complete circuit. Copyright © 2025 Timothy B. Burleson under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 4.0 International License.

We had heard fantastic things about the Salty Dog Grill on Lido (deck 15). Hamburgers and hot dogs included with the base plan. The hot dogs were average and the cheeseburgers were fairly horrible.

Yes, there's a liquor store onboard. However, you have to wait until the end of the cruise before they let you have it. I’m pretty sure their selection was based on color. Copyright © 2025 Timothy B. Burleson under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 4.0 International License.
