Review summary
I would like to give recommendations for Abdul, Rami, David and Perminas in Starlight Dining Room. We saw them also in the Cafeteria on the 10th floor. Their service, kindness, attitude was super!!
I am disappointed that there was a charge for sodas??? Really, I understand the charge of alcoholic beverages but for soda. It's just outrageous. Beside of that the fee for gratuities in a party of 7 people is really expensive.

Just so you know (and since you have been on 2-3 cruises, you should), Cruise lines have been charging for soda products for years! Not sure when your last cruise was. The auto-gratuities are based on per person, not per group and you always have the option of disputing the charges if you feel you received less than good service. Your tip about "bring sodas" will not help as the cruise line will confiscate them when you board the ship.
