We needed one more cruise to put us into the Elite membership tier for our 30 day South American cruise February 2019, so we added a 5 day Cabo onto our existing 15 day to Hawaii. We were curious how we would like all the sea days. The ship was in fairly good shape considering its age, plenty of places to get away from everyone if you wanted. We never really felt crowded unless there was a big deal in the Piazza. The shops had plenty of current fashions and the jewelry shop carries exclusively Effy. Quality at a fair price. It seemed they were always having a new line to showcase.
The food was presented well, in reasonable portions, warm and most meats were cooked as requested. We found that most often if you asked nicely you could have whatever you wanted.Not all of the offerings were something we would eat at home, but you could always order from the standards if needed.
We had requested the 7:00 dinner time and on all our precruise paperwork it was confirmed. When we boarded the ship our cards said 5:00. We spoke with the Maitre d"Hotel Neville and we were assigned the 7:15 dinner at a table for 4.
