Review summary

Boarding and departing out of Tampa was the quick and orderly.  The room was very nice and the room attendant was great.  The bathroom could have used a better shower curtain. The ship was clean and easy to get around on. The fitness center was clean and well maintained but there was no ability to hear the TV.  Most ships I've been on lately have individual TV's on most of the cardio machines - this one didn't and over half the machines faced away from the windows - boring scenery.  The entertainment was average although we did really enjoy the trio of your ladies  who played the piano and violins.  The waiter Marko and his assistant Daria were exceptional in the dinning room unfortunately the food didn't come close to matching their service.  Limited selections and disappointing quality.  The Windjammer seemed to have better food however the ability to find a place to sit and eat was sometime challenging to say the least.  The staff at the Guest Service counter were very friendly and helpful especially Silvia.

I just came back from a cruise from Tampa and I agree with you. Tampa is quick and orderly. I wish other cruise ports took notice of everything right about Tampa. Great location. Easy to get to and from.
