If you are of an age, go to the main dinning rooms for proper service. The buffet for quick and easy, mount your plate up, and many of em. But noisey and busy. See you night waiters service the tables at lunch, seems to demean them. They give so much good service. I don’t like deserts/ sweet, but prefers savoury and had more than one starter. No problem. There are plenty of Sun beds. After8 am theyre all reserved! Towels, books and no occupancy till after 11/12pm. Show time. Amateur crew ones and exceptional main guest ones. Musicians, excellent. Don’t write off the ships backing orchestra,( 4 of them). Brill. Booking these shows, like the Mexican restaurant, near impossible to book on the Wi-Fi. Find the Pool club girl. She will book it!
