Review summary

This was my husbands first cruise, my 3rd.  Everything from the staff to the food was amazing.  The food included in the "main dining" everyday was high quality restaurant food to where we didn't even entertain the idea of going to the "special" dining restaurants.  The five day cruise was the perfect length, we just started feeling like we were ready to go home on the last day.  In the future, I would book the excursions through the cruiseline instead of with travel agency since the excursion we booked left without us because the ship arrived after the excursion time.  Luckily we were able to book something on the island, so we ended up snorkeling after all.  We are already looking forward to booking another cruise to another destination next year.  :)

Ship tip

Can't stress enough to book your reservations for the My Time dining. Mainly because it books up fast, but also we had such great waiters (Karim and Sharma, table 628) that we wanted to keep them for the entire cruise.

I did discover a $25.80 extra charge from the ATM, so be careful. I was aware of the $5.80 fee they were going to charge but noticed an extra $20 when I reviewed my bank activity.
