Embarkation and disembarkation are always tedious. if there could be a way of speeding it up. The buffet was good with a wide variety of food. the bars were overwhelmed at times and it took long to get drinks.
The ship is beautiful and looks like a hotel. You don't even feel like you are travelling on water. Facilities are exquisite and a lot of different personalities are catered for. The on-board entertainment was good from day 1, however entertainment on the last day was rather short lived. The cruise is advertised as a five day cruise whilst disembarkation is very early on the fifth day and you don't even spend a morning there.
We requested for changes to the dinner sittings and separation of the beds online way before the cruise and these were not effected. we ended up being moved to another restaurant away from our family and friends in order to get the first sitting. when we requested for separation of beds for our boys all we got was separation of blankets!!! it seems like changes made on the website do not matter and thus it becomes a waste of time.
Cabin was nice but the phone handset was full of face powder on embarkation day and I had to clean it before we could use it. beds were not separated for our boys even after we effected changes online.
