Having cruised more than 30 times..this was the best dining room food and staff we have ever had on a cruise ship. The ship itself was new, very clean and loaded with activities for both the younger and older sets. The only mishap was at the Aqua show. The show was wonderful but the wood bench seat had soot ( probably from the ships stacks) which stained my pants. However this was taken care of by the cabin attendant who had them cleaned and back to me the next day. Our journey in the Casino was not a successful one. Of the eight of us, the four wives played the machines all seven days, but not once did anyone hit a jackpot. The card games ( 3 card poker and Ultimate hold-em poker) were very dis-advantageous to the player. The only game to play in the casino with slightly disadvantageous odds is Blackjack. Our embarkation and de-embarkation was as easy as any and the parking is the best you can find for any cruise ship. All-in all it was an excellent cruise and we are looking ahead to our next cruise.
