\u00c2\u00a0The ship carries 2200-2400 passengers, and all of those staterooms have to be cleaned and refitted between about 10am and 3pm. \u00c2\u00a0We looked around a bit, and ended up having lunch here in the Aloha Cafe buffet. \u00c2\u00a0We ended up having almost all of our meals here. \u00c2\u00a0The food was really good, as was the selection, and we were doing so many shore excursions we
