Although I could find a bunch of tiny things to complain about, I'm not going to do that. There are always little glitches here and there, especially for first time cruisers (which we were). My husband and I sprang for two cabins for our children and son-in-law as well as a junior suite for ourselves. We had plenty of room for all five of us to gather prior to going out. We shared some very special memories and a big part of that was the wonderful service we enjoyed from our stateroom attendants Xavier (who took care of our adult children's rooms) and Richard Bryan who took care of my husband and myself. Always helpful, very attentive and magically took care of our suite when we were away! Also very kind and attentive to our family was Wayne McLeod who served us in the Schooner Bar. Entertaining and so very pleasant, he remembered our names, our favorite drinks and we rarely waited for anything (except each other ;) ). I'd also like to give shout-outs to Benedick (Portofino), Marinette Dorado (Chops), Marilou (casino bar), Glen Roy (Champagne bar), Tamara (safari bar) and our beloved servers of table 478 in Tides that remembered all our names even though we only went there once. You all were so amazing!

As a family we all agreed that this was our favorite trip we've ever taken together. Yes there were some things that weren't perfect, but there was so much that was good and wonderful that I wouldn't waste your time by sharing it.
