We drove from Cleveland the day before and stayed at the Best Western in South Plainfield, NJ. Drove up the next morning and arrived at 11 AM, dropped the bags at the curb for check in and parked the car. We were checked in within 30 minutes at the Suite Class desk. Dropped our bags in the room and went up to the Luminae for lunch.

We ate most of our meals in Luminae. The service was fine but the menu is limited to half as many items as are on the MDR menu. After one horrific meal where we only found a soup and steak to order, the soup was so bad we couldn't finish and the steak was no better. We got up and walked out, back in the cabin I wrote a letter to the hotel director and delivered it that night. I met with him the next day and expressed my frustration with the limited Luminae menu. He told me I could request the MDR menu and order some items off it to go with the Luminae menu. We did this for the balance of the cruise and survived. We had my anniversary in the Tuscan Grill and enjoyed every bite. We had lunch in Bistro on 5 while in port.

We had drinks at the Rendezous lounge before and after dinner and some drinks during the day with our drink package. I booked a S2 Sky Suite and they put us in cabin 6116 which is close to the elevator and a good location. The ladies room was right outside of Luminae which my wife enjoyed. I bought some jewelry on board for my wife for our anniversary and her birthday and some T shirts for my wife from Bermuda. Enjoyed the tea for suite class members in Michael's Club. We disembarked from Michael's club and were some of the first off the ship. Read more
