I was very disappointed with where we were seated in the dining room/show room. Near the back of the room behind two posts

It was mediocre. The day cruise would have been better to see sights. Our cruise wasn’t able to go near downtown due to high waters so there wasn’t really much to see anyway. Disappointing. The food was okay. We probably wouldn’t do it again.
