We chose this cruise because it left from Tampa. Every service person we came in contact with on the cruise was helpful and seemed to like their job. After the first night in the dinning room the waiter and assistant knew what we liked to drink and always recommended the choice of the day. We often took their recommendations and were always pleased with their selections. The food in the main dinning room was always good and the service was superior. The room steward provided service two to three time a day. We always had what ever we asked. When we arrived the fist day we ask the steward for ice in the room and he provided it everyday without our requesting. The entertainment provide by various venues was excellent. There was more to do that you could cover in only 5 days. The process to get on and off the ship was easy and prompt. Only thing we want to be more of was ice cream!
