Embarkation: We embarked in Fort Lauderdale. The line looked very, very long as we exited our shuttle. However, the line went pretty fast as we approached the counter. So, embarkation was fairly fast and efficient.
Cabin: Once getting aboard the ship, we instantly went to our cabin to check it out. We had a nice mini-suite on the Dolphin deck. It had lots of room for storage. The bath included a tub and full size shower. Yippee!! The balcony was a good size. We didn't like the open balcony (no ceiling). People on decks above us could see us when we were on the balcony. My husband especially did not like that. But, we thought we would try it to see how we liked it. Now we have our answer. Our cabin steward, Florian, was excellent!! He was the best steward we have ever had. I can't say enough about the service he gave us.
Dining: The dining room food and staff was sub par at best. It seemed like the portions were very small and not the best tasting. The waiters were okay, not great. They always seemed to rush everything. We did not have any relaxed dinners there. The Maitre'D did not come to our table. So we did not even know his name.
We had cabin Dolphin 236. It was a great mini-suite! Lots of room, tons of storage. The bathroom was a nice size with a full tub and shower. We loved it!
