Be prepared for the weather. We watched the temps for a few weeks before leaving but we hit a bad stretch of weather. Some days it didn't get out of the 50s even though the week before it was the upper 60s. It rained in many ports. Make sure you have a rain jacket or an umbrella, just in case.

Get the anytime dining! We sometimes got back late from our excursion or wanted to eat early to catch a show, and the flexibility was great. We were usually seated right away, and while usually asked if we wanted to share a table, we were always given a table for two right away when requested.

Say something to the steward if your cabin is not as clean as it should be. Ask that the filters be changed often in the halls that service the cabins. Ship is tired needs refurbishing

Buffet for breakfast - way more choices than the dining room

Food was good. Choices were many. I now have to take off the weight I gained.

We have only ever used buffet dining, as it suits us the best. And we don't have to take extra clothes for dining rooms

We had fixed dining and the wait staff and food was excellent. Food in buffet was adequate but not exceptional.

Do not sail on this ship if going to a cold climate. When the weather is bad and guests stay congregated inside the ship becomes very, very crowded in the common areas.

bring a roll-up puffer jacket as it get's really cold in some venues..especially near gangways and deck doors.

Food was not consistent. Sometimes good/excellent. Sometimes not. Sabbatini's for suite guest breakfast was excellent. Crowne Gille was also very good as a premium dining restaurant.

Make sure you make a reservation for the CRAB SHACK dining at $29.00 per person. It is a special dinner on certain nights (one on this cruise itinerary) and includes the freshest seafood available. Entrees include a choice of "steam pots" of king queen crab, muscles, clams, fish, sausage, etc..

Packages for liquor, premium coffee and I believe soda and bottled water were less expensive to purchase once on board then the advance pricing packages offered prior to boarding.

we like anytime dining, you always meet interesting people from all over the world. the buffet had a very good German dinner one evening. I'm German ,so I know good German food when I taste it.
