I highly recommend this cruise. Fantastic vacation overall.

Room: Interior room was nice, slightly more spacious than average for an interior. Attendant provided good service 2x per day but was ninja like. I rarely saw him after the first day, and spoke more often with one of the other stewards down the hall. Still, he took care of the room well. No complaints.

Food: We had early dining in the Southern Lights and I definitely recommend the Southern Lights over the my time dining in the Northern Lights. The Northern Lights has an unpleasant smell to it. Anyway, for the most part the food in the Southern Lights was very good. The beef dishes were the best, and the filet was quite good. My least favorite dish was the seafood penne, as I didn't care for the sauce. Other seafood dishes were good. If there's any one menu item you must get it is the Tom Ga Kai soup found on the starters menu in the middle of the week. Get two bowls. Seriously. The dining room service was lacking at times, probably too many tables per waiter. Be prepared for long leisurely dinners in the dining room. The Lido deck buffet is pretty good, though we mostly just had breakfast there. Eggs benedict with salmon was good. The Lanai barbecue on the 5th deck was a great lunch option on sea days. 24 hour pizza bar was good, and the mongolian grill was good if you can hit it at a time with a short line. If you see a long line for a food option, just skip it. There are good food options everywhere, and too much to do on the ship to waste time standing in a long line. Read more
