Smooth embarkation and debarkation. Ship was well appointed and clean and nicely detailed. Cabin was roomy and convenient furniture especially the lighted vanity mirrored cabinets. Dining had a better choice than the specialty restaurants on other cruises we have sailed. Entertainment was top notch great variety and talented players. Centrum had continuous music, dance instructions and game direction. Service was beyond our expectations friendly and accommodating. Most special amenity was the Enclosed by glass Solarium which includes a children free environment with large salt water pool 2 hot tubs and sun bathing area. First cruise I have been on that had a full steam room sauna, showers towels poolside and in health spa. The area also provided regular beverages coffee tea juices cold water and Ice. There was a food service that provided salads, fruits paninis, deserts, breakfast entrees lean meats and appetisers. Ports especially Costa Mayer provided variety and great music/drinks and clean pool experience great lounge chairs tables and chairs with great views of the ocean.
