Embarkation - Went very well. We arrived at 11:30 checked our bags with the porter outside went in with our paperwork in hand. We waited about 10 minutes in a security line (x-ray and metal detector). walked up to the desk (no lines) received our sail and sign cards and sat down for about 20 minutes before our section was called to board. Walked on and headed for the food on the Lido deck (Horatio's).
The food - We really enjoyed the food in the dining room and ate there all evenings. The food on the lido deck was good. The pizza was just OK when fresh out of the oven, not so good otherwise. Our waiters Agus and Rosauro (the happiest guy on earth) were GREAT!!! We never had to wait for anything. Bar service in the dining room was very good also. Enjoyed the soft serve ice cream/yogurt. If you like Rum drinks, get the specials...They were gooooood!
The Entertainment - Some shows were better than others. We really liked "Ticket to Ride" (The Beatles show). Not so crazy about the hypnotist (he must have been good, because he put me to sleep). The band that played in Frankie and Johnnies was GREAT! We found ourselves in there as much as possible. The guys playing out by the pool were mostly good. Karaoke was OK (not a big song selection). The deck parties were a lot of fun! The more involved you are, the more fun it is.
