Had trouble in main dining room. Went to sit at table on second night and was told well, you weren’t here on the first night so we made changes. We sat at new table for fifteen mi utes with no service so we left and never went back.

Good except we were not told to fill out customs form for 2 cartons of cigs purchased onboard so we were flagged and detained with border patrol. Each adult is allowed one carton, but I purchased both on one sign and sail card. We owed no additional taxes, but there were people w did that were not told this on the boat. They had a buy three cartons get one free which several participated in but was not told to fill out customs form.
