Getting on board the ship was a breeze. Going with eight other people made the time go by fast. The ship was everything we hoped for. Even as big as it was you did not seem to be crowded. What is it about people who cruise. Either they are so happy to finally be on vacation or they genuinely nice.
The staff on board were very helpful and gave you what ever you wanted. One afternoon while stocking up on desserts for are round of cards on the upper deck a little old lady was looking for chocolate eclairs. She could not find any and was so disappointed. I told all you have to do is ask, so I summoned a bus boy and asked if he could get them for her. She said if he comes back with an eclair she was going to give me a big kiss. Not only did she get eclair but she got a whole tray of them. Needless to say the staff was great. Our waiters were the best.
The first night they kind of check you out to see what they can and cannot do. If you are a fun group they will join right in. Including bringing my wife a rubber chicken for dinner.
