Embarkation was extremely efficient. We boarded early and were on the ship by noon. Our cabin was forward on deck four. The cabin steward was excellent. Plenty of room in our interior cabin. Beds were very comfortable. Shower was powerful. Our cabin was very noisy with loud sounds when you were trying to sleep. It sounded like a whirling sound a drier makes as well as a clunking noise reminiscent of a bowling ball dropping. Very annoying for a light sleeper. Ship tried to change our cabin but the only room available was nosier than our original cabin.

Enough with complaining. The entertainment was great. Jose and Patti were so entertaining with their songs of all decades that we went back night after night to watch them again. Dave Heenan, the comedian, was so funny, and likewise we went to all 3 shows he did. His adult show was the funniest. The magician, Greg Gleason, was amazing. His close up magic show was excellent. I could not figure out how he did any of his mystifying illusions. His lecture on increasing your memory was excellent. I only wish I wasn't as sleepy as I was during that session because I had trouble remembering it.

The cruise staff led by Shona Blair was one of the best we have ever encountered. Sidney was one of our favorites. This was going to be his last cruise for a while. He will make an excellent cruise director some day. He is so charming and funny. And can he dance! Another favorite was the Progressive Trivia with Beverly. Very entertaining for a trivia buff. We learned a lot from our friend Beverly. There were so many activities you never had a dull moment. There was Liar's Club ,Ray-Ray, the assistant cruise director, was hysterical-what a dry wit he has, and Quest which is completely off the wall. Second City also performed. Their show was a little different but entertaining. If you like acrobatics you might like Bollywood. Read more
