first i will say that the staff and employees wherever we went were fabulous. I will also say i am not a fan of buffet meals, BUT this buffet was amazing. there was something different everyday for lunch and being able to get a quick bite at night ( from 11pm-1am ) was a treat. the pizza was not so good but everything else offered was great. first our cabin. we were on deck 7 in a veranda balcony. there was tons upon tons of storage space and the shower was amazing. super hot water and water pressure. the bed could have been a bit more comfy but it served its purpose. we did breakfast in the buffet and every thing was good and lots of choices. we ate dinner in the MDR your time dining and what was great is we were able to sit with our wonderful waiters every night. and they were wonderful. the two production shows we experienced were good except for the last night where half the dancers danced full out and half of them looked like they needed an energy drink and it was quite noticeable. but the chorography was good. trivia was fun as was scattogories and I've learned how to make and origami box :) but the best part of the cruise as is any cruise was the people we met and engaged with. what a fun group ! made the trip. the lay out of the ship is easy to maneuver and is.. for me... the perfect size. the only down side which i did not care for was the casino. its quite small and everything is crammed together and there were too too many of the same machines. in addition, i do like to play a bit of black jack as the only time i play is when I'm cruising. but to play 10-15 or 20 dollar minimum hands was not for me. there should be a few 5 dollar tables for social gamblers. i cant wait to book the summit again. :) all in all it was a great great trip !
