The Muse has lots of pluses and minuses! We hadn't been on SS for quite a few yes but had always felt they lived up to our expectations in the past. Many new concepts were introduced on the Muse. Some worked, others were not so successful. Hopefully, SS will be able to modify those to please their guests. Most of the people with whom we spoke agreed with our observations about the deficits.
The embarkation procedures were very efficient.
Without exception the crew was terrific - remembering names, food orders, drinks, etc. And our experience with food met all our expectations. The food was outstanding.
We took the boat excursion which cost us a bunch and was useless!! It says we have an exclusive motor launch and we were on a huge passenger ferry with over 100 people.
