If you have taste, like air conditioning, or hate things done slowly...don't go on this cruise.

ROOMS - The room stewards are worth their weight in gold. We only had two towel animals, but our room was clean, there were always fresh towels and the ice bucket was always full. We had a veranda room. The rooms are small, but there is a lot of storage. My husband and I are very hot (temperature wise, LOL). We keep our home at about 68 degrees during day and down to 64 at night. We cranked up the air conditioning as soon as we got in the room. It NEVER got cold. The bathrooms need updating, they looked a little worse for wear. There was only ONE outlet in each room. I understand that this a cruise, but we have become a society that depends on their electronics. We brought the laptop so we could dump the pictures from our two cameras and video camera every few days onto the computer. There is internet access (buy it by use .75 a minute, if you buy a package and don't use the minutes they do not refund you). The one plug issue is a problem when getting ready. I use a hair dryer and a curling iron. I could not plug them in at the same time. This added to my "getting ready time" which could prove an issue with my new husband. (lol, it didn't I married a good one, but you can see ladies how it can add on to your time).

FOOD - Hot is not a priority to this cruise line. We ate in the dining room two nights in a row. We had open seating, but still had to wait to get a seat (20 minutes), and sat with other people. My husand and I realized this week that we enjoy keeping to ourselves, so please take our view with a grail of salt. We sat with a family the first night that seemed as uncomfortable to sit with us as we were with them. The second night we sat alone, but near a large family with tween-aged children that still called their mother "mommy" and called her about every 10 seconds. I feel snooty saying this, I do not have a background where I eat in gormet/high end restaurants. However, if you have eaten in ONE upscale place in your life, you would know instantly that this food is not up to par. It was cold, they could offer more vegetables, heavy in meat and starch and desserts. The Lido cafeteria (don't let them fool you, it's a cafeteria), was never open on time, though food is prepared right in front of you, still not hot. Like coffee? Don't drink it here, it is horrible. However, if you want one good meal, book all 7 of your nights in the Pinnacle Grill (20 bucks per person). The service was upscale, the food OMG just delicious! Read more
