Review summary

SHIP IS A LITTLE OUT-DATED, BUT GOING IN FOR REHAB IN THE SPRING.  IT WAS VERY CLEAN, AND THE PEOPLE WERE FRIENDLY AND VERY HELPFUL.

WE ENJOYED THE SHOWS, ALTHOUGH THE COMEDIANS WERE JUST AVERAGE.  OUR CABIN STEWARD - PURNAWAN - WAS OUTSTANDING.  HE KEPT OUR CABIN IMMACULATE, AND WELL SUPPLIED WITH OUR NEEDS.

LOVED THE 'WASHINGTON' DINING ROOM.  THE STAFF WAS EXCELLENT AND THE SERVICE TOP-NOTCH.  WE WERE TRAVELING WITH FRIENDS WHO HAD BOOKED AT A LATER TIME, SO WE WERE NOT SEATED TOGETHER FOR DINNER.  WE REQUESTED - FROM THE DINING MANAGER- TO BE SEATED AT THE SAME TABLE FOR THE LAST THREE NIGHTS OF THE CRUISE, AND HE MADE THE ARRANGEMENTS WITH NO HESITATION OR PROBLEMS!  WE DID NOT PARTICIPATE IN ALL OF THE ACTIVITIES, BUT FOR US SENIOR CITIZENS, WE WERE QUITE BUSY ON THE CRUISE, AND ENJOYED IT ALL! WE WILL DEFINITELY BE ON A CRUISE AGAIN!
