We were the first cruise back after the fire and we came away impressed with the food, service, and entertainment. Embarking out of Baltimore was a breeze and we were on the ship within 15 minutes. The rooms were ready by 1pm so we had our Windjammer lunch and just relaxed.

Our cabin was on Deck 2 and we had a good state room attendant who provided ice twice a day after I requested it. A negative here was a diesel smell in our hallway for the whole cruise. It did dissipate somewhat as the cruise progressed and we smelled nothing in the room. The outside cabin is the same as an inside and was fine. It has a small sofa which is nice but no refrigerator. One of our group had a frig in their room since the ship thought they needed it for medicine so I assume they are available on request.

To the dining! Main Dining Room food was superb every night. The service by Oscar and Ravi at Table 611 of My Time dining was flawless. Thanks to them for such hard work. This was our 6th cruise and I think the Main Dining food was the best we've had. The Windjammer was very good. It was not as crowded as a cruise we took earlier in the year on the Enchantment. Tables were cleared quickly and very little waiting for food. Someone was filling the water, juice, and tea so we didn't have to do that ourselves so it moved things along. They were pretty stingy with the ice though so you had to ask. Out on the pool deck service was not as good as lemonade and ice were frequently out but I can't complain about the lava flow as it was delicious. Read more
