The breakfast in the dining room was excellent. We went there the last 2 days...wish we had done it sooner.

Don't buy drink passes till you get on the ship, you can buy them daily for the same price and be aware the ship will run out of bottled water but you can bring it on at each port. Free sandwiches muffins brownies and pizza along with free water and iced tea on deck 5,very good service and food.

Don't get in a hurry to buy gifts or extra services (spa, upgraded dining, etc.) Each night you will get a sheet outlining the next day's activities that will have specials - like half price spa day! Significant savings.

The virtual balcony rooms make the room seem much larger than it really is. It’s worth the few extra dollars.

Don't miss the Ice Show and the Mystery Dinner! Laundry is not one day service, more like 2-3 days so plan accordingly. Great deals on excursions by booking early, wink wink. I booked online prior to departure and was a great move on my part.

Even though the ship was scheduled to go into dry harbor after the next cruise, it was so well maintained and luxurious. Al personnel seemed to desire to make sure that we all had a great time.

When getting back on the ship, walk up ONE deck (if you can) and walk over to the elevators on the other side - you won't have any wait!

The only tip I would suggest is to get to the port early - as the lines get very long as the day goes on.

Go to the Ice Show early during your cruise and be there 20 minutes before it starts to get good seats.

Star Lounge on Deck 5 -- facing the stage there is a door on the right side at the back of the room near the sound booth. Go through that door and the next door and you are outside on Deck 5. Walk forward and you're at the front of the ship, by the helicopter pad.

It is and was a great ship. Don't be afraid to walk around and check things out. The key here is to have fun . The more you know about where things are the easier it will be to fine it.

Bring an extension cord if you want to have power where you need it. Ask for the waiter Donald in the Main Dining Room.
