Review summary

We had great cruise despite a few bumps in the road, We paid for Faster to the Fun, express boarding and deboarding. It turned out we put our luggage out the nite before to be picked up, and debarked ended up having to wait over 90 mins for all zones to unloaded before being allowed to get our luggage and get in regular line to debark. Standing on concrete for 90 mins for seniors is no fun. Finally upon getting our luggage, we chose to get a porter to speed thru porter line. My tip is to carry on luggage off ship and grab a porter to get you off ship faster, tip him 10 bucks , well worth it;.

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
We enjoyed the specialty restaurants, all were good. The buffet was also good. We ate in MDR for dinner each nite, had excellent service from waiters, I would recommend better choices. I had steak and Lobster from steakhouse as upgrade in MDR, it was not good. I chose chicken most nites, roasted chicken was decent, but grilled was not.

We used a porter getting off and went right to the front. Will always do that now!
