Just disembarked from the cruise - cruise was okay, not as fantastic as I have imagined though.

Breakfast at windjammer is horrible - over crowded and food sucks but dinner at main dining is superb - fine dining concept and food is yummy. One thing is, if your are with big group or family, there will not be any problem with seating arrangements but if you are traveling in 2s, they will either put you in big tables with strangers or into table for 2, right besides the food station. That's what they did to me, only after very strong protests + refusal to be bullied into accepting what they wanted to shove to me, did the bald short manager in charge put me in table for 2, but we were put to be seated besides the food station which makes us felt extremely discriminated on and not very happy. The other lady captain in charge is so much nicer, and will take the time and effort to walk over to chat and ask for feedback if any, but for this bald manager, he just can't be bothered.

For those staying at rooms with balcony, please note that there isn't much privacy and those staying next to you can either peep over to your room or even climb over if they want to as there's big gaps on the top and below the partitions and unfortunately for me, our neighbors were some very inconsiderate who spoke at the top of their voices every morning at 7am, disrupting our sleep (yes there's no sound proof whatsoever) with their kids peeping over to look into our room and throwing rubbish to our balcony which was very annoying. Best advice is to lock your balcony door every night to keep out intruders and inconsiderate people but unlucky for us, even with the balcony door locked, we still can't keep out the noise with the kids banging on the wall as well. Not very happy about the whole experience as we paid extra for the balcony only to have it tarnish .
