DO NOT READ THE CRUISE REVIEWS FOR THIS SHIP! The only problem with this cruise is the guests! Before leaving on our cruise my family and I excitedly read all the reviews, big mistake! There was nothing to find but negativity. Needless to say we were weary before leaving on our much anticipated vacation. To say the least, this cruise was a pleasant surprise. We had not one problem while we were on board.
The food was great, especially in the specialty restaurants. I recommend East Meets West and Little Italy. Both have fantastic food and the wait staff is incredible and very personable.
We, four of us mind you, stayed in one of the staterooms with a balcony. It of course wasn't as big as a hotel room, but there was plenty of space for us all. There was a never a moment of feeling too crowded. Our room steward, Rupert, was excellent. I've read that others didn't have this or that, or this was dirty and so on. Our room was clean, and we had extra of everything! Your room is made up in the day and turned down for you at night. All you have to do is turn the knob on the outside of your door. Some people in previous reviews had a hard concept of that, it's really not that difficult.
