Review summary
A great experience overall for our first cruise. We had two more sea days than anticipated which was a bit disappointing of course as we missed two whole ports. The weather let us down the first5 days, no ones fault and not the end of the world but naturally disappointing. We did the ships tour which we loved. All in all, it was fantastic, the staff, the food, the cabin and the entertainment. The Golden is a beautiful ship.Embarkation

Food and Dining
Explorer's Lounge
Loved this bar, it was our favourite. Loved the atmosphere and the dancing at night with live music, great fun.
Lobby Bar
You are calling this the lobby bar, I want to review the Vine Bar. We used to go here most nights before dinner for a glass of wine and some sushi or other little snacks they offered. We loved it and our waiter was fantastic.

Onboard Activities
Entertainment
Atrium
The Atrium/International Cafe was almost always totally impossible to get a seat. We never got there. It is very annoying that people will sit playing cards or reading a book in the space for hours on end. perhaps a polite notice could be put up (like at the pool with banana lounges), that people please respect that other people would like to also have a coffee or snack here so limit the time to 30 mins or something....or maybe just ban them reading books or playing cards in that spot. There were many many people we spoke to felt the same way about this particular space. A bit frustrating.
