Review summary

The balcony rail in our stateroom was ‘sticky’. Every time you leaned against the rail you got this gross brown sticky stuff all over your clothes. I did let the stateroom attendant know and he said they were aware of the problem but they did nothing to correct it. Several of our shirts were ruined from leaning against the rail - its hard to make yourself not touch it!

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Embarkation for the most part was excellent. The key is to know if you have expedited boarding or not. We had suite/expedited boarding but the person directing us tried to push us into the other line. We stepped out of line and walked over to the Suite line and boarded right away.

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

The food at the buffets was average at best. The food in the main dining room was superb! We pretty much stuck to the main dinning room.
