Review summary
We thoroughly enjoyed our. This was the first time we used the My time Dining option and was pleasantly surprised. We were initially upset that having booked the cruise nearly a year ago, we could not get a early seating dining for the cruise. However the My Time Dining Option worked very well as we could sit down to eat at 6:45pm each night, which was better then the fixed early seating option. The head waiter we dealt with each night was brilliant and he ensured we ate at the same time every night, using the same waiters. The new layout of the buffet restaurant worked well and found seating very easy. Apart from Halifax, all the ships excursions were OK. Considering the Titanic burial site was only a 10 min drive outside the city, why didn't the ships city tour, that we took include that in the itinerary ? Its probably the most seen piece of history in Halifax and as such should have been included in our City tour. Our only criticism was the low height of the bed, which my bad back didn't like. Also because of the lack of room under the bed, our suit cases had to be fully opened to get them under the bed !! Fortunately one of our friends warned us of the beds, otherwise we would probably have suffered the same fate as them, who broke one of their suitcases.
