We didn't spend that much time in the music venues. The balcony was a nice addition to our cabin. It was nice to be able to sit out there and we didn't find the view restricted. The food in the main dining room and the speciality covered a wide range of cuisines. It was nice that the executive chef came out to speak to us. The wide range of entertainment was also very good.
