We'd been sooo looking forward to this cruise cuz of the entertainment, "Fingers Felder" headlining, lotsa others like Moody Blues John Lodge & Jon Davison (John Jr I called him), The Orchestra dong ELO, etc. Those 3 were great, but not as easy to meet & greet AS HOPED. You pay a lotta $$$ to see these stars. Queen Nation was wonderful to hear & also to get autographs & pics with, John Lodge did this too, thankfully.

The prices were as surprising as the food, a can of Coke was $4, & 80 cent tip to had u the can! Almost 5 bucks for a small can of soda, wowza. The Oceanview Cafe buffet was so often bland or stale or weird. ie cake w/lotsa icing but not much flavor, pizza w/very hard crust & bland flavor, etc. If u asked for small piece of cake they'd say "pre-cut" & give u this giant piece instead of cutting in half. Best things were an apple salad & raisin muesli, lol. Hubby said the same about his various meats, etc.

The Oceanview Cafe crew circulated often picking up plates & silverware, don't blink, it's gone, lol. Nadia from Brazil (pretty sure) was there & she chatted nicely & wrote God bless you in Portuguese & Spanish at my request, so sweet. Read more
