Review summary
We were blessed to have Oana and her team for dinner every night (we asked for them specifically since we had my time dining). Dinner was not only delicious, but fun as well. She remembered our likes and dislikes and was always willing to go that extra step to make sure we were satisfied. She was such a warm and caring person, excellent in her position, professional always but so down to earth and fun to be with. She is TOPS! Our room steward Waylan made up our room very nice every day and was pleasant to talk with. Mihaela Voda in Guest Services resolved a problem with our account efficiently, smoothly and courteously and she was an absolute pleasure to deal with, ALWAYS with a smile. Dealing with the public is not always easy and I feel that she handled it perfectly and professionally. We said many times that having a job on a cruise ship is demanding, long hours, and difficult when you deal with the public. These people deserve KUDOS because they do their jobs very well and always with a genuine smile. We go back on the elation on 11/24 and hope to see all of them once again!Embarkation

Ship tip
Have patience during the boarding process (security). Checking in after the security fiasco was fast and painless. One complaint....children are not allowed in the hot tubs, but yet they were in there. That is dangerous for them and adults should not have to deal with this.
Ports of call
Half Moon Cay, Bahamas (Private Island)
Amber Cove (Puerto Plata), Dominican Republic
