The embarkation was extremely quick and smooth. We arrived at the port around 12:30 and boarded immediately. We waited until the next day to add a credit card to our account. The process was quick with no line.
We tried to eat lunch on the first day at the Sports Bar, but they only had chicken available. Later in the cruise we did eat there, but it was not worth a repeat visit.
We ate most breakfasts and lunches at the buffet which was extensive and of good quality. We ate one dinner there, but the choices are very limited compared to lunch. So, we ate in the Black Crab dining room for the remainder of our dinners. The wait staff in the Black Crab was excellent. Our water was kept refilled, suggestions were made when asked and we only had one slow meal all week. Some of the food choices were the best I had ever eaten (eggplant parm, oriental kale soup and felafel, for example).
