It has been some time since my wife and I had been on a cruise. We had this one booked for nearly a year and coming from the cold Midwest, it was a respite from the bitter cold!! We were not disappointed. Overall, we had splendid service. Our balcony suite on the ninth deck suited our needs very well. Our steward did an excellent job and when our refrigerator quit working, he took care to see it was replaced the same day. Our suite was always prepared splendidly.

I would recommend the Ultimate Dining Package to everyone sailing. It is well worth the cost to enjoy the incredibly good food and service in the specialty restaurants. To be frank, the buffets and meals in the main dining rooms are pretty run of the mill. Our favorite dining experience was in Le Bistro. The French cuisine was exceptional as was the service. As part owners of a restaurant, I wish we could hire the wait staff to teach our employees! La Cucina, Italian cuisine, was our next favorite. Teppanyaki was very entertaining. I would skip the Moderno Churrascaria. The salad bar was excellent; however, the meats were dry and flavorless.

The tappas in Las Rambalas were tasteless and the bar service was non-existent. I am not sure why they even maintain this part of the ship as it is rarely occupied. On the other hand, the crepes and ice cream in the Garden Café were worth battling the buffet grazers.

Very comfortable for two. It would be very crowded with four.
