The ship is still great but I do feel the quality of food is not what it used to be. Yes the afternoon tidbits are a disgrace- chips and an inedible sauce, but if you have a suite they serve shrimp, sandwiches and cakes and cookies. We were in SKY Suite 2129 and too late were warned that the food carts roll right above you all night- that's true and stay away from that room, Butler and Cabin attendant and assistant were good.
We were a large group and did break up for blu. Those that came at 6:45 got seated- those that came at 7PM waited an hour and then a waiter passed them by for 20 minutes- BYE BYE BLU. we then ate in main dining room select everynight and had a fantastic waiter-Jerry. Since I am not fussy about food, it was OK.
I want to compliment the ships medical facilities. At the first port I fell flat on my nose and without getting gross, required 4 days use of the medical facilities and team, They were fantastic even arranging for me to see a doctor in Sardinia. I can not compliment enough Dr, George and the other Doctor (whose name I do not know) and 3 nurses they have down there. Their care and compassion were evident. I did manage to see amalfi though.
considering that one pays more for a suite, the area above should be carpeted to dull the noise
