OVERALL This was both my husband and mines second cruise. We thought the entire experience was great. This was a school vacation week, and we had expected to see a ship overrun by children, and we hardly even noticed them aboard, and the ones we did see were always polite. I really enjoyed going to Honduras and Belize (we had been to Grand Cayman and Cozumel on our prior cruise); having the cruise so port intensive was tiring though, and I was glad for the last day to be a sea day. We had a great cruise and we are already looking to book another, this time taking our 8-year-old daughter along.

DINING We had originally asked for the 6:15 dining time, and got 8. I was actually glad to have the later seating as it gave us time to relax between getting back from port and having to get ready for dinner. We sat at a booth for 4, but we never had any tablemates. I was a bit disappointed in that, as I was looking forward to meeting new people.

I tried most of the different dining options. I was overall very pleased with the dining room. We ate breakfast there most days. I loved the French toast! For dinner I was pleased with the selections, and I tried dishes that I've never had the opportunity to try before. Almost everything was very good. My husband did not care for the lobster (I did not try it); being from Maine we are used to very fresh lobster and are quite picky about it. Also, the filet in Scarlett's was much better than in the dining room. Scarlett's was exceptional; everyone should try it at least once. I thought the buffet was average. We only ate dinner there once, and only had lunch on embarkation day. I thought the deli was great, and also enjoyed the fish and chips place, and sushi. I am no sushi expert, and I'm not really sure if it was good or not. I liked it fine. My husband loved the 24-hour pizza. The burgers were also okay. Read more
