What a great value this ship is for people who took advantage of October special pricing deals.
Several reviewers mentioned how good the service is on this ship. The wait staff in the main dining room, Deck 5, was the best I have experienced in my 14 or so cruises -- prompt, cordial, funny. Even in the Windjammer Restaurant we saw kind acts of kindness as wait staff helped elderly people to seats and came around constantly asking if they could refill cups et al. I've never seen anything like it.
The food was average with a couple of exceptional meals. The menu was a little better than some cruises I have been on. I loved the Seafood Spaghetti at dinner one night and I had a fab Royal Palm chicken for lunch in the main dining room. On the sea day, Thursday, they have an amazing salad buffet where you choose what you want and the server mixes it all up in grand fashion. Fantastic. I thought drink prices were higher than most cruises I have been on.
This cabin was typically tight for an interior room. Room in good shape overall, with the exception of one small area in the bathroom.
