I am writing this in the hope it will help some people who may not have cruised before. My wife and I have been on 7 cruises over the past 15 years. We have taken Royal Caribbean, Carnival and Norwegian. This was a last minute decision to take this cruise. We surfed the web up and down to get a good deal. We ended up choosing this one because we didn't have to fly. For this cruise we choose the drink plan. If you like to drink this is the way to go. Unfortunately for us when we got on the boat they didn't have us registered for this service. We spent the next 4+ hours trying to get this corrected. Thus ruining the day. We even had our receipt showing we paid for it but they had their procedures. Two days into the cruise I went down to the front desk and had them print out my bill. Guess what they still hadn't got the drink plan straightened out.
This is an older boat but kept up very well. They have more people trying to keep the boat clean than you can imagine. Our room was the smallest of all the cruises that we have taken. Just needed a little bit more room.
The food was ok at the buffet. It seemed it was the same menu every day but many choices.
