Pre-embarkation was a bit rough, Plain signs in Mobile - tips not required, although we do tip I was a bit taken back by the porter that looked at the money I gave him and the number of bags like it wasn't enough.
Food was nothing to write home about and the next nights menus seemed to have leftovers cooked in a different manner. Food was not hot nor tasty or exciting. I had read on cruise critic prior to going on this boat that the food was not that good. I thought maybe it was just a bad cruise......not so, it was the same for our cruise.
Wait staff - our main water was very attentive, the assistant was gone often which created hardship on " NI " our waiter.
cabin was in a good location until they activated the pods to steer into port. Over all good value, good location on The Empress deck and near the atrium.
