As is usual and expected from Royal Caribbean, the service was outstanding on this 8-night Eastern Caribbean cruise. If you asked any of the servers for something special, the staff member would go out of their way to quickly get it for you. One afternoon on the "at-sea" day, we were eating in the Windjammer buffet and I mentioned to one of the staff that I was disappointed that there was no fried chicken on the lunch buffet. He said "Let me look into that." He was back in about 5 minutes to tell us that it was being cooked and would be available in about 15 minutes. I less than 15 minutes, he returned with a plate of hot fried chicken for the whole table. The staff at the evening dining was also outstanding and remembered our names and what we wanted to drink before dinner.

The only thing that was a little annoying was how hard they pushed their premium (extra cost) resteraunts. We ate one night at Giovani's and would have to say that the service was very slow. So slow that we missed the 9:00 PM show.

The entertainment we did see was good but we did skip the silly "Newly-Wed" game show.
