Review summary
this was my first cruise, didnt know what to expect. was very thankful the waters were calm. the food was good, not great. the service was excellent. we did wish there was a better drink package available. 1. we do not drink sugary soft drinks, and 2. we are are not heavy alcohol drinkers. it would have been nice if there was lite wine package, one or two glasses with dinner. bottled water should be included at all times. Most of our excursions where good. at least one we thought should have left the ship earlier. we barely made it back on time. all in all it was a good first time experience.

Thank you for the details in your review and kudos to you for one heck of a first cruise :-) I also think you were balanced in your review and in your ability to enjoy the enjoyable things and not let the minor disappointments ruin the experience. My question for you is what day did you try the Windjammer Buffet? It is usually pretty crowded on embarkation day, but in my experience, it's a lot more reasonable for the remainder of the cruise.
