Tampa departure is very convenient for central FL residents. I have been to all the ports of call in the past but cruise for the on board amenities more than excursions. The food was consistent and good as usual on HAL. I do not use LIDO ever for various reasons. Aft vista suite (corner) afforded more sun and views than other similar cabins. Spent every night in casino so did not see any live entertainment. Elderly cruisers with many having mobility issues. Did not use elevators due to longer waits most of the time. Seating in main DR appears to reflect your Mariner status and/or cabin level. Window tables given to suite guests. Heard of one passenger that had a water problem on Nav deck. Our A/C plumbing etc was never a problem so previous reviews seem to be overblown or corrected. One couple booked a total of 77 plus days in a row!
