Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
We ate mostly in the main dining room (select dining seating). Food in main dining room was very, very good. Service was excellent. With the select dining I had set up reservations for 6:30 pm each night. When we got to the Silhouette dining room we were asked if we wanted to share a table or sit at a table for two. We chose to share. This gave us the opportunity to meet other people and be served by different waiters. All of the wait staff gave us excellent service, food recommendations, and made the meals very enjoyable.
We only ate in the buffet for breakfast two mornings and lunch one day. The fresh made omelets, fruit, pancakes, French toast and waffles were good. Fruit was fresh and had great flavor. Lunch food was good. Pizza was constantly made and good. Ice Cream bar was a success with lines all the time. Deserts were very good. One night our waiter recommend the black Forrest cake served in buffet if we wanted a good chocolate cake.
The Coffee and Tea bar had very good deserts and service was excellent.

The group December 63 was excellent. They gave a great performance. Very interactive with audience and great singers.

Cabin had plenty of storage in bathroom and in room. Bed was very comfortable, we slept very well. We had a lot of pillows. Room was always neat and clean. Plenty of room for two people. We enjoyed the balcony. there were two chairs, two footstools and a table on balcony. Shower was big excellent shower head.
Ship tip
Tal to the staff. They give great recommendations. The biggest tip. Get to the ship early, boarding is fast and easy and enjoy your time on the ship. We boarded at 11:00 am and were in our room by 1:15 pm. Luggage was already there.
Enjoyed Key West. We goy off and walked Duvall street, then took the Conch Train tour. Both were very enjoyable. This was our first time to Key west and wanted to experience it on our own.
We did a Chacoben Ruin and Beach Tour set up by Shipmate.com, This was a very good tour. Tour guide very knowledgeable. We went to the ruins, then went to a private resort were we had lunch and drinks served to us. We had about 90 minutes to relax and swim. Kayaks and snorkel gear were available to use, no charge. Drinks were served (included in tour package). On the way back we stop and got bags of sliced pineapple ($1.00 per bag for 8 slices of fresh cut pineapple). Got back to port with plenty of time to spare.
Cozumel we did a ship 4 wheeler and beach tour. Riding the 4 wheelers (Honda 300cc, semi automatics you could shift if you wanted too no clutch, most just put them in 4th gear and used thumb throttle) we had a lot of fun. after riding we were taken to a beach. Beach was very crowded so we hung out in resort pool. There was food and a bar if you wanted to buy anything.
Our flight was late afternoon so we were one of the last off the ship. Our number was 38. Disembarking was easy, once thru customs (which went smooth) we got out luggace from carosel and made our way outside to bus to Fort Lauderdale airport.
