Great cruise, after fogged embarkation mess it was all uphill for a fantastic week in Central America and SE Mexico! This was our 3rd cruise our last being 8 years ago on Celebrity, and seemed to be the best! What we really liked:
- The excellent evening and poolside musical entertainment, especially Tim the comedian and some great small bar piano & guitar playing were our favorites.
- Just the "paid for" food was very good in the main Venetian and Aqua (smaller portion restaurant, "healthier"). We did the buffet for lunches and would rate it a B, but many times took our plates out poolside to eat since we enjoyed incredible weather the entire week - - NO RAIN or more than one day of moderate seas. We did the Italian La Cucina restaurant once for a small upcharge and both the food quality and smaller scale more attentive wait staff were worth it. We also did dailymorning room service breakfast to settle the stomach and get the first cups of coffee, but it would have been nice to have a few more food options (eg, pancakes) at that.
We went with an interior 10th deck room getting a free upgrade from a 4th deck priced room. No problems and the room staff was very attentive, left us towel animals each night. No room noise problems, everything in the room worked and the bathroom size and layout was better than the last ship we were on.
