Thoroughly enjoyed my first cruise. Food, service and care of rooms were fantastic. Everything was very well organised. Had a couple of average meals in horizon buffet on specialty nights but overall food fast excellent. Can't wait to go again

Cabin / Stateroom

Very comfy bed and pillows. Shower was a bit small and needed more cold water. But was fine. Cabin Was kept clean and tidy by cabin steward who did an excellent job. Quite a comfortable cabin

Juliefitz formal nights are usually your at sea days. Hope that helps with your reservations.

I am the same. We booked a specialty restaurant but hope it's not the same night as formal nights.

are the specialty nights always in the same exact days? you can book specialty dining reservations ahead of time now but I don't wanna miss out on a special food night.

Why did you eat in the buffet on specialty nights? When we did the Emerald, the specialty nights were awesome. Actually all our meals on the Emerald were excellent. Glad you enjoyed yourself, but you missed out on some great food and entertainment.
