Ship: we had no desire to go on the largest ship in the world, and.........,,we loved it. Never felt very big, not crowded, lots of great venues to walk around and sit in. The Central Park area with all it's greenery was lovely. Viking Lounge really superb. Great little bars and music all over. I think we still prefer the smaller ships, but this one was really terrific.
Main Dining Room: service was superb ... Dining room was very elegant and we thought the menu and food was exceptional - we have cruised quite a bit and this may well be the best we have experienced. Traveling with an 11-year old with Special Needs and allergies - in the main dining room, Memis, our asst maitre d' said he would take care of our every need and brought Chef Jim out to discuss the allergies and the alternative options - simply amazing. Memis continued to look after us carefully and ensured that we had everything we needed or wanted!
Windjammer: it was good but not great. Surprisingly with just a little looking we could always find a table for four. Don't understand the Windjammer opening for dinner so late.... Traveling with a kid who does not eat pizza and is special needs, where does one have a healthy dinner in order to make a 7pm show. I know Celebrity opens by 5pm which worked perfectly. And on a similar note, we went through a lot of trouble to order room service breakfast on the morning that we had a 7:30 meet time for Cozumel excursion. Imagine our surprise and disappointment when we learned that breakfast was served starting at 7pm. Never heard anything like it and thought such a late breakfast time to be simply ridiculous. We canceled the order.
We liked the room very much. We were near the elevator but never heard any noise. The seas were come and we only ever felt the gentlest of rocking. Generally we prefer midship or aft, this one was near the bow, but fine.
