We are long time cruisers and it takes a lot to make me say "that was great" but it happened on this ship. Came on with litle expectations for other than an "OK" cruise. The highlights: Cruise director Marc - the best evah! Team Spirit - best evah! Officers - had more presence around the ship than I usually see plus they were extremely friendly and funny. Dining Room Food - right up there with the higher class ships. Service in dining room - the best evah (thanks Gerald & Andy #129). The Chubby Bunny (you have to find out for yourself, but I won the contest). The Wind C trio - awesome voices and reportoirres. Room was always neat and clean. Windjammer food was very good, I don't see how anyone can complain. It may be predictable but there was tons of fresh fruit and vegetables and healthy options. I wish I ate as well at home. Embarkation and debarkation was easy.
