Sail Date: May 2009

The ship itself is very nice, but soon due for interior overhaul.  Room was quite nice and spacious, excellent service from our steward Getty.  The casino gets high marks from us...new slots lots of fun to play, and the use of the sign and sail card for playing is a great idea.  The casino bar singer was just awful!  Reminded us of a dying dog!!!  The nightly shows were good, especially the comedian and the illusionist.  Probably the best show of the week was the one featuring the guests impersonating singers!Food:   One of the main reasons for my husband to go, and we were both disappointed.  Breakfast in the dining room was very good, and pretty good in the Lido, but not hot.  Lunch:  Fish and Chips on 10 was very good every time we ate there.  Again, food on Lido not very hot, and also not very tasty.  Dining Room Dinner:  Much smaller servings, not good selections, and food usually lukewarm.  We never had a filet mignon on the menu, but they do offer flat iron steak as the substitute.  It was good, but missed the filet.  One night only was lobster paired with shrimp, but the lobster was EXTREMELY small.   Desserts varied...some very good, others a big disappoitment.  The chocolate melting cake was good, as always, but overall, our table was disappoited in the quality and selections.   Our waiter must have been new to the job, as he never engaged in conversation with anyone at the table, and our table was the last every night to get dessert and leave the room.   Hopefully he will get better.Getting on and off the ship was a breeze!And we have to give the coffee an A+!All of the crew are very friendly and helpful.

Wonderful room, lots of space and very comfy bed, balcony was fantastic as it's double in size.  Lots of "boat" noise during the night..clanging of pipes!
