Review summary

Cruise was great, the itinerary was fantastic, the staff was friendly and helpful, especially our cabin person and waiter. The customer Svs desk were not very friendly, could have been English wasn't their first or even second language, but they came across short and curt. The food was good, cooking for 3000 isn't easy but there was a good variety and plenty.

Food was good - cooking for the masses makes it understandable that it wouldn't be great, but the service and quanity made up for any shortcomings

Service and Staff

Almost everyone went above and beyond - the customer service desk answers were brisk and curt, and not always correct...

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Except for having to many public smoking areas making it difficult for non-smokers to get to all locations, the ship was clean, beautiful and very roomy.

Ships that cater to Europeans, are more open to smoking because more Europeans smoke than Americans.  Seems like you had a good cruise any way.  Your ports of call were great.
