We had a wonderful time,but as first time cruisers we were a little frustrated about several things.
First, let me start off with the positives. THE STAFF ARE AMAZING!! They were always working, cleaning, setting up etc. For those who wrote negative comments about the staff,, did you talk to them? They work on the ship 24/7 for up to 6-9 months with no time off. They work about 16 hours a day. When you get on the ship in the afternoon they have just finished cleaning from the cruise that came into port that morning. Please give them some credit, they were wonderful and friendly. Always saying hello, good morning etc... As for the staff that walk by and ask if you would like something from the bar? They are just doing their job and a simple no thank you works. We didn't think that they were too pushy at all. As for the price of the drinks, again, they were not as bad as we thought they would be. About the same that you would pay in a chain restaurant.
The room. We had a family suite with an unobstructed balcony view of the ocean. Beautiful to look out on, when the ship isn't in rough water, which ours was for the first 3 days. It was small but spacious enough and the cleaned 2 times a day.
Small, but adequate. Beautiful baclony view, but water was rough for first 3 days. Was cleaned 2 times a day. Quiet except for the flushing of the toilet in the cabin next door.
