The very best part of this cruise was the F2F option for $50, we arrived at Port of Tampa at 11:00 am and by 11:30, we were in our cabin unpacking and getting ready for lunch and cocktails. From the time we hit the terminal door, flashed our F2F id, we were escorted directly to the sail & sign card desk, where the card was ready, straight to the gangway and zipped through security.
This is the 5th time on this ship so we knew our way around, and what to expect. As people have already stated, the live music has been drastically cut back. DJ's now play at the pool instead of live music. Dosn't seem to be as much live music at night either.
In all fairness, the 2nd night, my wife had 2 Lobsters, and I had the prime rib AND lobster. The rest of the time, dinner in the MDR was nothing to write home about, one night, a "hamburger" was the best MDR choice.
Perfect location, just wish they had balconies on this ship.
