Review summary
Our favorite part of the cruise was the Cruise director, Dr. E.He was a positive force in making everyday a happy day on board and he is a talented entertainer. The entertainment was good, the food good, and the service people were very nice.
Things I feel could be improved:
1) The flooring in the Lido food court was always slippery. Whether or not it was wet or dry, it was still slick. It was a safety hazard for us and we had to stay aware of it. The decking on the pool deck was not slippery even when wet. Perhaps something similar could be used in the Lido deck dining area.
2) The prices of photos needs to be better. The photographers are everywhere and do a great job of capturing all events and take good pictures. Then they print all of these pictures, and thousands get thrown away. If the prices were more affordable, people could purchase more pictures. The pictures could be offered in smaller sizes and all on a disk. People would like the pictures, but it is way overpriced.
The Cruise was great, overall, and I would highly recommend this cruise and ship to anyone wanting to have a nice cruise experience.

Ship tip
If you choose anytime dining, waiting 30 minutes is expected, but often it is shorter. On Dress up nights go early to dinner and avoid a long wait. The best thing about waiting for dinner is it is off of the main lobby with great entertainment while you wait.
