What to know before you book
Cabin tips
Book a balcony cabin midship for the smoothest ride and best access to elevators. Couples should note that tables for two in the main dining rooms are limited, so visit the dining desk immediately after boarding to request one.
Dining
Seventeen dining venues include five specialty restaurants clustered in Chef's Court on Deck 8: Butcher's Cut, Kaito Teppanyaki and Sushi, Ocean Cay seafood, and HOLA! Tacos and Cantina. A specialty dining package saves money if you plan to try more than one.
Entertainment
Entertainment leans more relaxed than its sister ship Seascape, with a focus on the wraparound promenade, outdoor movies, and a five-slide waterpark. The top-deck ropes course adds a mild adrenaline option.
