Food Dining rating (1-10) overall an 8+ - lots of selection, steaks were well prepared and cooked to order! Very good service and attention to detail - our wait staff danced and sang for us - very talented!!! The buffets were quick and well set-up - my only complaints: No really HOT salsa, and the Mongolian used VERY sub-standard chicken pieces (you know the kind....... was that really gristly chicken or something else?) California Rolls 10+++ everything we had there was great and good quality fish, and rolls and wasabi.

Bar Service rating (1-10) overall 3- These guys/gals could not make a decent margarita.......... we are on a cruise to Mexico for crying out LOUD! Had a couple and had to move onto shots....... not sure what (if any) kind of tequila they used in their "rocks" margis. Two words... weak and tasteless! We finally found one lady that actually made a margi with some tequila in it - just couldn't find her often enough! My girl had the bloody marys and they were good (tobasco and Worstershire) but never got a large enough piece of celery to stir it - the garnish and flavor are the biggest part of a good bloody mary........ in my humble opinion. We would have spent at least 200% more (each) if the bar was better.

Room Service rating (1-10) overall 10+++ Excellent / fast / food quality was great

Cabin Review

Superior Oceanview Stateroom with Balcony

Cabin D2

Good sized stateroom with balcony - bed was comfortable, bathroom good sized (shower a little small) - It's a ship - you are not supposed to stay in your room all week!!! We had a large balcony attached to my brother-in-laws and we kept the dividing wall open all week. Thursday we had a little room party connected my ipod to the tv, and had shots and cigars out on the balcony. Smoked a couple CUBANS - hey we were in Mexico - it's legal there!!!
