Embarkation went very smoothly. Once on board we had a very relaxing sit down lunch in the main dining room. By the time we were finished our bags had been delivered to our cabin and I began the unpacking ritual.

Our cruise director, J.C., was conspicuously absent from the welcoming show in the theater the first night of the cruise. The DJ Seth filled in for the cruise director but never mentioned why J.C. was not there. Following the welcoming show we were lucky enough to be in an elevator with a staff member who told us that J.C. had fallen down a staircase after the life boat drill and had injured his leg. We heard later that he had been removed from the ship in San Juan. The next day the comedian, Julie Barr, took over the cruise director's duties. She did an excellent job. I was told she had been a former cruise director. I found her charming, funny and very similar to the comedy styling of Lisa Lamponeli. I found out later that she had worked with Lisa in New York when she first started out in comedy. I think they rubbed off on each other. The next day we heard that cruisers were getting sick with norovirus. Isolation procedures were implemented and then we heard the DJ Seth was now sick followed by Julie Barr. The ship crew were really having to pull together to keep the cruisers healthy. They had to hand us all our food, utensils, salt, sugar etc. for the whole cruise. Cleaning procedures were implemented to make sure the ship was spotless.

Despite all of the above problems we had a wonderful time. Entertainment was excellent. Our favorite was the piano bar where Mike Sara performed. Food was outstanding especially the lobster and the turkey. The Tamarind Restaurant was a delightful treat. We had lunch there and felt like we were treated like royalty. The waitresses were dressed in asian style clothing, the room was beautifully decorated in asian style and the tables were set with very unique place settings. The food was outstanding and the service excellent.
