I would recommend this cruise if you don't care about dining. I was so disappointed with the food on this cruise that we ate three times over the 7 nights in the dining room. The service was actually worse than the food and they have automatic tipping. We ended up eating at the Sushi bar that opens up during that afternoon/evening and then eating the Indian food buffet near the adult pool and grabbing the mexican buffet when it was out.

The same food that is in the cafeteria is served for dinner! I did however, LOVE the entertainment (comedians), sushi bar, tea service, pools, and size of ship. It was a pretty ship.

Our cabin steward was incredible and we tipped him very well at the end of the cruise. He was great! The adult salt-water pool, hot tub area was definitely a plus. We spent most of our time during the days there.

Balcony

The closet was small but the balcony is the way to go!! We were on the 8th floor midship. They had nice little toiletries in the bathroom - like toothpaste sample, razor, etc. The TV wasn't very good and the volume kept turning up and then down.
