The cruise was great but when my wife and I made the reservations I had asked for timed dining for a table of two. Might be because of the Covid the last 2 years when we arrived the 1st night for our table on past cruises we were assigned a table for the week and would be taken the 1st night to the table and return the same time every night even if you were a few minutes late. This time though my confirmation did state the 5:30 pm seating but when we arrived for our 1st meal found out that dining was now anytime dining which I never was a fan of. We were 15 minutes late arriving to our table because it seemed that the dining room staff were also not familiar with the way things were being handled because they were in a bit of disarray. In the past we asked for timed dining because you could get to know the waiter and his/her assistant and they also would get to know your want's and needs by the end of the cruise. Not happy with this part by the way this was not our 1st cruise we have taken in excess of 15 cruises so we do know what to expect.

I enjoy Bingo and there were only 4 sessions of bingo in a 7 night cruise. I enjoy Slot tournaments and there were not even 1 tournament for the entire week. If no cruising for the past 2 years is an excuse it should not be because the cruise lines make the total prize money in entry fees.

There is a bright spot, I received the Casino VIP package and the cruise line did a great job on this part. We had chocolate cordials one night, chocolate covered strawberries another and a large bottle of champagne another plus several other gifts on debarkation day. Read more
