First the good. Excellent service! Dining room wait team (table 621, Ivan- Lobo, and Malaieiut) was really first class, the best I've had in six cruses. All three were always attentive, remembered our names from the first day. Always greeted us with a sincere smile and a cheerful greeting. Likewise, our room steward and his team were always cheerful, greeted us by name every time. Room steward's would drop whatever they were doing and respond immediately to whatever we requested. Whenever we left the cabin, it was tidied up upon our return. (room stewards Branimir and Chito).

Food in the main dining room was good; not haute cuisine by any means, but good. In my opinion, food was comparable to, say TGIF, Appleby's sort of places. Lobster one night only, prime rib twice.
