Review summary

Nicely decorated staterooms aboard the ship, more spacious than expected.  Cabin Stewardess was fabulous, bed very comfy, could have had a couple of movie channels to watch for the TV though.

Food was mostly pretty good, we used the alternative seating outside of the assigned dinning room, service in dinning room was lousy so we left and went back to the larger family style dinning room.  (too bad I really wanted a good steak but oh well).  Menu was a pretty good mix of various cuisines.  Lemonade was out of this world I probably drank a gallon a day.  :)

Ship tip

Lido deck is your best bet for service and food which is not much different than the assigned dinning area.. We did run across 1 bus boy that put dirty dishes from other guests on the table that we were eating at, disgusting he had the nerve to roll his eyes when I asked to move the dirty dishes
