Port of Baltimore is a great port. We arrived at 12 and were in our room by 1:30pm. Every member of this crew is fantastic and very friendly. The weather was chilly, windy and wet both to and from Bermuda, but cleared up in port. Previous complaints of poor food in the windjammer cafe, baffle me. It was good food with a great variety. Often we found the fresh food to be a higher quality then that in the main dining room. Smoking is allowed on most starboard side decks., but there are also many non smoking areas.

Our cabin was small, but well laid out. Storage was tucked into every usable corner. The bathroom and shower is small. The shower is semi circle and is tiny. Trying to shave your legs is a trick. We brought an over the door shoe holder and packed it full of toiletries and just hung it in the closet. This worked well for us. The bed was comfortable and the room was clean. It hosted a small sofa and table. The window was large and offered nice views when in port. The tv is small and dated, but there aren't many channels worth watching anyway. Overall, we were very pleased with the room.

Dinner in the main dining room was nice. We had requested a private table and were we thrilled with our window table. We had early seating at 6pm. Appetizers were good, especially the soups. Mains were also acceptable. The prime rib was good as were the fish dishes. Desserts were hit or miss. We preferred the desserts in the windjammer. Our server Sharon was very professional and offered daily recommendations, which we often followed and enjoyed. Service by the wait staff was outstanding. We had two formal nights on our 6 night cruise, day 2 and the night leaving port. Fifty percent did not dress for either. We saw tuxes to jeans and everything in between. We even saw someone in a tee shirt, shorts and ball cap at formal night number two. If you are concerned about formal nights, don't be almost anything goes. Just bring something nice from your closet. Read more
