People cruise for a variety of reasons. People cruise with family, people cruise with a spouse.... I cruise with girlfriends and enjoy the CREW. This crew was amazing. I saw them in January 2009 for 14 nights and again in march 2009 for 7 nights. They are great. The bartenders, waiters, stateroom attendants... were all fabulous.

SHIP- The ship is beautiful. They have glass elevators that you can see the ocean with which are so pretty. The centrum (where you have cocktails before and after dinner) was great. There was a fabulous latin band playing. The bartenders in the centrum bar were incredible. Their huge tip was well deserved! The ship itself is not a huge vessel. It is a nice size which is why I keep going back. It is very elegant. If you go to the 12th deck by the pool, there is an office to book future cruises and their is a class hole in the floor that you can look all the way to the bottom deck!

Bars/Lounges- The pool bar is great. Right by the pool which is why it is the pool bar. It is fun and the drinks are great and decently priced. The sky bar is one deck up from the pool and really nice. The bartenders are just incredible. They are from all over the world and truly very friendly. The lobby bar is fantastic. This is the bar right outside the dining room on deck four where they have live music. What a nice place to relax and have a cosmo or martini. The schooner bar is nice. This is on deck six where they have piano music which is awesome. It is a lounge set up with chairs and tables with wait service or you can just sit at the bar. The champagne bar is elegant where you can have a drink looking over the center of the ship and hear the live music on deck 4. The vortex club is on deck 13 where it is a night club atmosphere. It is fun and open late. I loved the bars and lounges on the serenade. Read more
