This cruise followed a week on the west cost of the USA and what a fantastic time my wife and I had. You can read all the negative stuff from people who have recently been on this cruise, probably the snobs who go on holiday for 13 months a year, or hear from me. We were the 1% of Brits on board and were made welcome by all the staff and more refreshingly the other travellers. We mainly based ourselves at the serenity pool - adults only, during the day time. We met plenty of new people including Dennis & Christine from New York, what a character he was. Chris & Sonya from Australia and many others who were great company. The atmosphere and spirit of the same people around the pool each day was great to be part of, the only downside they ran out of Budweiser! The waiters were always on hand to bring your every need to your sun lounger even without tipping them.

Food - unless you are one fussy eater the restaurants cater for every need, if you don't want to eat it get something else. There are plenty of tables available inside and around the pool
