I choose this cruise because the deal was good, but we did not get the ocean view we paid for. The view was obstructed by life boats. The staff were great and the cabins were clean, but small. Dining room dinner was good and servers in dining room were very attentive and friendly. I did not enjoy the lunch menu. It was pretty much the same everyday. The choices were not the best. Entertainment was very good most of the nights. The service staff were very friendly and helpful. The children preferred a larger ship and were very disappointed with the obstructed view. We enjoyed coming out and visiting different ports. It was very quick and easy to get in and out of ship when visiting other ports. The ship was small and not overcrowded. embarkation and disembarkation went very well during this trip. I was very please that the sailing was very smooth. Still I wish they would have done something about the view I paid for, but did not get.
