Sail Date: May 2009

Overall our cruise was great. 11 Nights departed May 5th and returned May 16th 2009. Met some amazing people and had a great time. Ports we're great, cabin stewards were great, bar staff very helpful.PROS- Night time shows and theme nights were great success- Food was incredible(be prepared to put weight on)- Casino staff were so nice and would help you understand the game- Comedy Club so hilarious as with Majority rules trivia- Different games like deal or no deal, sea horse racing and liar liar are awesome and very entertaining.- Bingo a huge success and very worthwhile for the jackpot winner at the end.- Very informative about shore tours etc- The daily newsletter was great outling the port to come and customs, currency, language etc- Cabin Steward was so great (wanted to take him home and leave the bf)- Karaoke was an experience and a half, worth checking out- Prices of drinks were fairly priced, same as you would pay in pubs and club and alcohol content is stronger. All the drinks i had the alcohol could be easily tasted and very strong.- Formal Nights are great,nothing like dressing up. We had 2 on this cruise.- Spa reasonably priced- Gym limited to workout more than weights training. Depending on how much you can lift.- Quick by thorough safety brief.CONS- I hate that the dining is buffet or dining room. Its so hard to get into the dining room if you don't call up first thing in the morning. The buffet area vibrated alot when eating and often you'd have to catch your drink before it fell off the table and this had nothing to do with rough seas.- Entertainment staff acted as though they were superior to all the paying guest during their freetime hanging out by the pool.- Photo prices are expensive but the professional photo's on formal nights look amazing and you are not obligated to buy.- Maybe it was just us but we couldn't get to the front of the boat. Only look out through the dome.- Spa and Gym can only be accessed via 1 set of elevators- Hairdryer isn't real great.Our cabin was outside twin. We were on the 10th floor and at the very front of the ship.Being

so high up and the first cabin at the front we felt the seas when they

were rough. If i had an afternoon sleep i would lay in the middle of

Cabin Review

Our cabin was outside twin. We were on the 10th floor and at the very front of the ship.Being so high up and the first cabin at the front we felt the seas when they were rough. If i had an afternoon sleep i would lay in the middle of the two single beds to ensure i didn't roll out which nearly happend a few times.Overall the cabin was great and our cabin Man Viddy was Incredible, i loved him so much that i wanted to bring him home.Bathroom obviously are small and makes it hard to shave your legs and what not but you manage.Wasn't very noisy in the cabin either but when you walked outside of the cabin it was i think mainly to do with being at the front.
