This was our first cruise and I have to say that my husband and I really enjoyed the whole experience. We found our balcony cabin to be very comfortable and had no problems with the beds. The towel animals on the bed each night were lots of fun. The ship was beautiful and clean and I found all the crew from the cleaners, waitstaff, casino staff, photo people, etc. to be particularly helpful and friendly.
We had anytime dining and enjoyed meeting different people from other countries at dinner each night. We found the food perfectly acceptable to our standards on every occasion with plenty of choices. As a special treat, we had one dinner at Sabatinis. It was a wonderful dining experience and really worth the extra fee.
I am not normally a casino player but for a little fun I spent some time at the blackjack tables. I went to a morning lesson with the Host, Nicol, along with a few other people. We had a lot of fun learning about the games and Nicol did not make me feel stupid when I asked silly questions.
