Embarkation quick and smooth. Lunch in MDR was very good with 3 choices. My lamb was very good as was and spouse's trout. Cabin (2111) was quite and very clean. Probably due to the Steward Nestfin. We were offered choice of wine and the afternoon savories were tasty. We were very satisfied with the location. Our table 245 for 6 was well attended by our servers. Great tablemates. All meals were hot and very good. Dined for dinner and lunch at Murano. Excellent service by Milan. Dined at the Grill and the Porch. The portions were very good but too big. Enjoyed the Martini bar and met very friendly people prior to diner. Did not do excursions as we did them several times before. Capt Peppas was very friendly and very visible. All support staff had smiles. Capt Club Hostess was not very friendly to the point of rarely seen. Very unlike others. (Rossy and Rose). We have 3 more booked. Some say X is slipping but found this cruise to be one of our best.
