My wife and I booked this cruise without the kids so we could relax and enjoy the cruise. FYI we took the kids with us on a cruise in Decenber. Our desire to see Aruba and the Panama canal were the reasons for this trip. We booked suite # 7058. Embarkation was very smooth. Would have enjoyed some refreshments in the staging area where we waited to board. Once aboard our suite was ready and waiting for us. We met our cabin stewards right away and they answered the few questions we had. The suite was great and well worth our money. The Neptune Lounge was right across the hall. The refreshments and appetizers were very good.
Yuri and Safyon were our cabin stewards and they were great in every detail. One of the benefits of booking a Neptune Suite is the laundry and dry cleaning service, which allows you to pack a little lighter for a 10 day cruise. This was done very well and in a timely manner.
The food on the Lido deck was good. We enjoyed breakfast in our room the first couple of days, and it was very good and delivered on time. We then discovered breakfast for suite guests in the Pinacle Restaurant which was exceptional, great service and food. Dinner in the Vista. was very good as well. We were seated at a table for 2 to enjoy each other's company. The servers were very attentive to our needs. Rod the wine steward was always available and helpful with suggestions.
Our room was everything we expected from a Neptune Suite. The room & veranda were both very spacious. The cabin stewards were very attentive to our needs, and the laundry service was wonderful!
