I read so many of these reviews before we went. I printed the list of EVERYTHING I needed to take, I changed dinner reservations based on what people on here liked and disliked and I went onto the ship thinking the pizza was horrible.
Well . . I really did myself a dis-service. To all of you first time crusiers, you do not need HALF the stuff the people list here. Really. We had a nice cabin with a veranda (for 2 adults, 2 children) We certainly didnt need an over the door shoe holder, didnt need extra hangers, clothespin, duct tape, or even a cooler. Our room had everything we needed.
This was our first cruise, so I don't have anything to compare it too. However, we eat out a lot . .so I feel comfortable speaking to the food. The food was not that great. All the reviews about chicken fingers and hot dogs are true. LOL! A few of us were sea sick 2 evenings -- so we ordered room service. It was horrible, plus the lady of phone seemed SO put out by our order! The food was cold and minimal. I ordered a baked pot. which came dry. No butter or anything on the tray for it.
Close to elevator . .which saved on walking. Cabin was fine. Dated, but just fine.
