Activity was great and all the food was excellent. Drinks are way overpriced but I enjoyed them anyway. I still think it’s so bad to charge more money than what the ingredients cost a customer. So I would recommend no one buying drinks. Don’t get me wrong they had prices listed but twice as much than at a bar. But atmosphere was great waiter was excellent and food was incredible

The food was very good the music was a bit loud but the mood was very festive and enjoyable. The crew was very helpful with my wife, who is somewhat handicap.

The Crew were very friendly and and very helpful with any questions we had (if they didn't know the answer, they went and found an answer for us, like our waiter, Raevon, since a person in our party was allergic to mushrooms and Truffle). Some of the food was cold (90's outside, a/c inside blowing right over top of the food).Not sure how to fix that one, unless you shut down any vents around the food (didn't take notice if there were any vents). Could have done better with the photos! (yes, I know a lot of people to push thru to take photos and get them on board so you can set sail on time) If you see a photo that has someone's eyes closed, don't even put it in the package, just use the 1 good one (if that was even possible or take 3-4 quick pics). Overall was a good experience
