EMBARKATION: Very quick. A member of my party of 6 needed a wheelchair, so we went through the metal detectors and were aboard quickly. It was very well organized.
DINING: Wonderful. I had pasta and steak each night and they had different kinds each day. I happened to have a great team of waiters. Shy was the Head Waiter and the fastest waiter I had ever had. He was great, and after a day, he knew everyone's name. He was friendly and liked to laugh. I requested him and it really paid off. The Assistant was Herman, who was also great. Together they made a phenomenal team.
ENTERTAINMENT: Good. The first show was hilarious. Mike Robinson, the comedian/ventriloquist, was the most skilled ventriloquist I have ever seen. I had front row seats, and saw that his mouth never moved. He makes it seem that the dummy, Terrance, is real. He also made some great jokes. There were 3 shows done by the Maasdam cast. The first one was Romance on Broadway. They sang a lot of Broadway songs and were all extremely talented. The next they did was something about the Subway,but I cant remember the name. That was also well preformed. The last show they did was Party Gra, which I personally didn't like as much as the other two. It was still pretty good though. Another show featured DV8 Reality Magic's Drew and Angela. The husband and wife were both great magicians and did things that seemed impossible. Another show was the guitarist, Justin Miller. He was very skilled at playing the guitar and played some old favorites of many. There was a show that ended the cruise and that was Mike Robinson, Drew and Angela, and Justin Miller performing. They didn't get much time since they all were in one show but they still all did great. Craig Di Rocco was a good cruise director and was extremely friendly. And Troy the bingo boy was also friendly and added a lot of humor into bingo. Troy also did every game show.
