Review summary
This was my first cruise so I wasn't exactly sure what to expect. I will say that out of all the employees you meet the only ones worth mentioning are the steward Patrick, guest service Maxine, and bar tenders from the Hat Trick Casino Bar Nileth, Maria, and I xunit and the cruise direcror, Schwartz. Generally, no one seemed to care whether or not you had an issue or if you were taken care of.
The dining options other than the buffet have very limited hours and I did not get to experience their cusine. There were several things to do to keep entertained but they overlapped one another and made it difficult to experience the full experience especially when you're running around the whole time.....
Hot tubs close way too early and need to be warmer, so does the serenity deck.

Ship tip
The breakfast in the dining room is much better than the Buffett. It's not as hectic and has everything you could want. Also, be aware of double tipping!
Ports of call
