My husband and I sailed on 7/20/06 to Canada. Previously, we traveled on RCCL and CCL. Our overall experience on this trip was excellent!!!! When we booked, I was informed we couldn't board until 2:00 pm. To our surprise, we arrived at the pier around 1:00 and we were on board the ship at 1:20. The process was extremely quick and the service was great. When we boarded, everyone was very helpful. Our cabin which had a balcony was clean, clean, clean. Our cabin steward was wonderful. I mentioned to him at our first meeting that I love the towel animals. He made sure he had a surprise for me every evening. (Even a towel monkey hanging from the ceiling)! Our in-cabin drinks (soda) were always replenished daily.

We had the 8:30 sitting for dinner in the Atlantic dining room. Our waiter Milton was the best waiter we ever had on a cruise. He always welcomed us nightly and asked us how our day was. If we had a request for another dinner, he got it. The food was very good, much better than the Holiday. One night I had the Prime Rib, it melted in my mouth!!!!

In the mornings we had breakfast on the Lido deck. There was a decent selection of food to pick from, but RCCL does a better job. Lunch time, we picked something from the many restaurants on board. All did a nice job. Read more
