This cruise was a great price for us, since we could drive to Baltimore, saving the cost of flights. We knew the first & last days of the cruise would be chilly & we can never complain about the weather.
The food was good, we had any time dining & the service staff was great. every other day was fast or slow. They remembered our drink preferences & called us by name every time. The head waiter & manager also remembered us, which was a nice touch. The buffet, however was a bit crazy, as usual. People going every which way :( Park cafe was nice, but VERY limited on selections. No pizza or burger place.
Shows also hit or miss with typically only 1 type of show per night in the theater. The club at the end of the ship was very underutilized. On Carnival, they use this as a comedy club & have a show in there every night, some times a few times a night; mostly karaoke on this trip.
