Felt I was on a different cruise and ship from some of the reviews! The ship is beautiful!

It was a joy to eat in the dining room every morning - felt like cruising used to be! I had no problems with any of the food except in Moderno. Basically for a meat based restaurant, the meat was terrible. Every server we met anywhere was so friendly. I got more hugs and fist bumps that in any recent cruise. Sometimes, I think you get what you put into it! I always smile and accept that everything is not going to always be my way. It hurt to hear some of the workers tell about their day and the nasty person they had to serve. When your room attendant tells you that you both were so sweet - i really questioned how others must be acting! Enjoyed the Illusanarium and the Wine Lovers Lunch. Also main dining room was beautiful. Yes, there was music, but they played short sets and I had to have another glass of wine so I could listen longer! We did get the Vibe passes and because the ship is so big and so many people it was a great decision. With 3 sea days we spent a lot of time there! Huge umbrellas!

Only problem was the same one I often have on land and that is the smokers! Yes, they have the right! but I am asthmatic and some just put their ashtrays down wherever, and I had to leave! We didn't do any excursions. We are a middle-aged couple who have cruised many, many times! Debarkation was the easier ever! Embarkation was smooth!
