Embarkation was easy - there was not much of a line at 3:00 p.m. We were greeted with glasses of champagne, which I love!!!

Acqua Class - We upgraded to the aqua class because the salesperson promoted access Michael's lounge as part of our package. Well that was not the case, Michaels was open only to guests in suites. Not happy about that, but not much we could do. Acqua class was not worth the money for us. We used Persian Gardens once and were not overly impressed.

Restaurants/Bars - The staff were most impressive. Blu was good and a bit more intimate than the main dining room. The food was great in both places. Overall, the restaurant staff were outstanding regardless of where you ate. It is amazing how when we ate in Qsine - the sommelier knew what wine we drank - from the staff in Blu. Qsine was alot of fun and so much food - worth it. The back bar staff - Ricky - always remembered our drinks. The wine bar was outstanding and the bartender/sommelier was very knowledgeable about the wines. He also remembered what we liked and made recommendations accordingly. The premium drink package is worth the money. The buffet staff were also fantastic and remembered preferences day to day. Read more
