The lines at the buffets are long that first day. We also never had another opportunity to order room service, being so busy as we were.

Our dining room was the Monet at the back of the ship. We had a window that overlooked the water from the back which the kids loved. We could see the moon rise many of the nights from our table (had a full moon one night)! Ketut (Phillipines) was our waiter and Eric assisted.
