Wind Surf Review

Additional details
This is cruise #30 and cruise line #8 for us. We are in our mid-40s, professionals DINK. We've been sailing for 16 years but this was one of the best experiences ever. Here's why.
Service: the word gracious is on the website. It is a true definition of how we were treated. We were called by name almost immediately and felt as though all staff were genuinely concerned that we were cared for and having a good time. Because of only having 270 pax there was ample time for them to get to know us and us to get to know them. It seems silly to say, but I felt like I was on my own yacht. Not once did I hear the words called out to no one in particular "Bar Service?" It was, "Miss Barbara, can I get you something to drink?"
Crew: the open bridge policy is unique. Wander up there when you want (not during port times). Ask anything and prepared to be informed and entertained. Capt Clark has missed his calling as a comedian. He kept us entertained more than once during the welcome aboard and the farewell party. Funny, intelligent man. All other staff friendly and unobtrusive.
Cabin Review
Suite
Suite 338 is all the way forward/port on the highest passenger deck. It is basically two cabins opened to one. Tons of storage space. Great closet with large full length mirror. Lights everywhere, including the storage areas. Sufficient hangars. Robes, slippers provided. L'Occitane shampoo, conditioner, bath gel and lotion provided, as well as abundant soap cakes. Towels big and fluffy, although not what I'd call luxurious. His/Hers bathrooms really fantastic. Oversize shower (compared to say a Carnival cabin). Granite counter. Lots of shelf and cabinet space. Razor plug in only. Great lighting.
All new furniture and linens. The bed was a little creaky but DH aka Mr Fix It solved that quickly. Basic blow dryer, Bose docking station and two TVs with a DVD player (1). Sofa chair and table all well placed and comfy. It really felt like home within minutes. Weird not having a balcony but we soon adjusted. Service came twice a day, but I only saw the Steward maybe twice. This cabin is super quiet despite being under the casino/lounge. Never heard a thing all week. Perfect location one deck down from the lounge and only two decks down from lunch and dinner. Good mini bar stocked and with glasses.
