We chose this cruise because we were on it before and enjoyed it. Embarkation was a little slow but disembarkation went very smoothly. The ship is big and beautiful with a lot of people everywhere. It is crowded at certain times and places. Our cabin (Jr. spa suite) was very nice. Our cabin attendant, Ranniel was very nice and did a wonderful job. We mostly ate in the dining room and found the food to be OK. Yogeeta and Michael were our waiters. They were excellent. We also ate in the Coastal Kitchen and Chops. Both were very good. Our concierge, Francisco helped us with reservations, our computer, and even replaced a lost room card so we didn't miss an excursion. Nikolay was also very helpful in the Diamond Plus Lounge. He brought me fresh watermelon every morning. The singers and dancers are fabulous. We have seen the same shows several times. We would love to see something different. The last night they showed up in Schooner Bar and took turns singing Les Miserabes songs. I loved that impromptu night. We enjoyed the Las Vegas Tenors and other entertainers. Dennis is a fabulous cruise director. He reminds me of James Corbin. I enjoyed his singing, dancing, and humor. The shore excursions were OK. We did a foodie tour in St. Maartin. That was different and we were able to tour the island and see the devastation from the hurricane. I'm glad they're on the mend. I know they were glad to see us too. My main wish is that there would be more lectures (other than the crew) and educational(computer) or fun classes like on Celebrity I have to say the captain had a medical emergency event and he handled it very well. I'm glad to know he cares about his passengers.
