Sail Date: Mar 2014

We were a little concerned after reading some of the reviews, but we didn't have any complaints. The ship was very nice, our cabin was very nice. We embarked without any problems directly from airport around noon. We had lunch and our room was ready. One piece of our luggage lost the room tag, but was found quickly. We would prefer to stay more in the middle of the ship. We were in a forward room and it was a little rocky. My dad who traveled with us was mid-ship, and it seemed less rocky.

Our cabin steward was the best. room was very clean and he had it finished everyday while we were at breakfast. We ordered coffee from room service everyday and it was always right on time.

The food was generally good to very good in the dining room. We had anytime seating and it worked out great because we could either sit with different people or just the three of us. We never really waited and we could go when we wanted to. The buffet was okay. Barbeque was good. The pinnacle grill was very good and worth the extra payment. The drink stations were the only problem. There was always a wait while they served you. The entertainment was good. The pianist was fantastic. The comedy of Mike Robinson was good. Didn't care for other comedy act. Skipped the dancers. We did see some movies but there was limited seating and you had to get there early. The computer and photo workshops were always too crowded. They needed a bigger venue for these. Plenty to do on sea days or just relax. We always found seating around the pool.

Cabin Review

Nice layout. Especially liked the bathtub. largest we have ever had. plenty of closet and drawer space. Our deck chairs could have been better and the table a little higher and bigger.
