We had a wonderful cruise with our family. This was a first cruise for myself and my sister in law but we traveled with 9 total.

We were in two sets of attached rooms on the same side of the ship 2 rooms apart which was perfect. Embarkation was smooth, because we were traveling with my one year old nephew they allowed us to be part of the priority boarding (huge plus looking back on it now) Went to the lido for lunch and the food was really good and well stocked for being the first 100 people up there. Our stateroom was ready when we arrived on the ship at 12:30, luggage was delivered by 1:30. We met our steward and asked for ice, which he had in our room each day following. Air conditioning worked perfect for us all week.

Dinning: We had chosen early seating due to our young nephew so we missed most of the sail away. Our server was awesome, he understood we wanted to order wine each night, but didn't want a bottle as not everyone was drinking and each night asked us right away what we wanted. It was my Mom's birthday that first night and he brought a cake and had his fellow staff come and sing happy birthday in their native language, a very nice touch and special. Dinner each night was quick and he did a great job with our small requests if we had them. Read more
