Review summary

I loved the whole cruise but my favorite part was when I volunteered to dance in one of the shows.  I was a little nervous but it ended up being the best part of the cruise.  Everyone was so nice and friendly.  I would highly recommend this cruise to everyone!!

Our cabin was fantastic but next time I think I want an outside cabin so I can look out to see what's going on. The cabin steward was wonderful also!! Enjoyed everything!! One thing I do miss is the little mints on the pillow at bedtime. That added such a nice touch!!

Ship tip

The only thing I wish I did not change is that we were scheduled for a late dining but when we got on board, I changed it to the my time dining. It was ok but we had a different waiter every night. I prefer to get to know one waiter.

We usually get the same servers on My Time Dining.  My request is always honored if it is possible.  I tend to dine early so that helps.

We had Anytime Dinning on our last cruise OCTOBER 2016 and had the same wait staff for 5 days, gonna try something different on the 7 day in SEPTEMBER 2017 sticking with my time but gonna  request to be moved every other day and the last day pick our favorite wait staff to enjoy our final meal on board. Open for comments or suggestions.

 

When we have YTD and find a great wait staff we do not move around unless it is necessary.  Otherwise we decide on a day by day basis.  As I said in my review on our last cruise "not all wait staff is created equal".

I read the "tip" about getting to know your waiter when you have a set Dining time. You can request to be seated in a specific YTD waiter's section each night. We did that on our past 2 cruises and got to know our waiter really well.
