EMBARKATION-Excellent. Arrived at pier at 12:30 p.m. No wait to get on ship. Cabins were not yet ready so we had lunch and made specialty restaurant reservations. The ship left three hours late due to fueling and waiting for seafood.

SHIP-Very good condition. Clean. Beautiful public rooms and artwork. Cabin and balcony were smaller than on Golden and Caribbean Princess but there was adequate storage. Ship was very smoky. There was no nonsmoking area in the casino. The right half of the Spinnaker Lounge (bingo and some shows) was designated for smokers, but it drifted over. We even smelled cigarette smoke non our balcony while at sea!

FOOD-We ate in specialty restaurants where the food was very good. Cagneys, Le Bistro, Teppanyaki, and Salsa. Dinner in Impressions was good. Breakfast at the Garden Court Cafe was average. Lunch at the same buffet was terrible with poor menu choice and poor quality. Suggest a hamburger at the poolside barbeque or at the Blue Lagoon as it is at least fresh cooked. Read more
