This was our second cruise and second time on AOS, and it lived up to our memories and expectations. The only downside was prior to the cruise, we had paid in advance over a year ago for a room at the Hotal Milano in OSJ and when we went to check in our room was not available and the room they moved us to did not have working air conditioning. Needless to say, we will not use that hotel again.

Embarkation was smooth, the lines not as long as last year, even though we arrived at the port at the same time. Wish they had the ceiling fans turned on in the waiting area, but apart from that, it was smooth and fairly fast considering how many people have to be processed through the system. We were on the ship in time to have lunch at the Windjammer and our rooms were ready, with luggage waiting outside, by 2 p.m.

Again, I have to say how great the RCI staff were - Martin, our room steward, Romualdo and Ivan, our waiter and assistant waiter, great service at all times, and always a smile, thanks so much! Read more
