Food and Dining

There were two servers that should be recognized for their extremely Great service!! Lu and Peter at table 200 in the My Time Dining room. Even though we usually sit each night at different tables we loved Lu and Peter's attention/service sooooo much that we ate at their table each night. Lu and Peter are fantastic!!!

Entertainment

Actually the shows are professional and enjoyable. However, the first at night 7pm, Welcome Aboard Show, had a comedian which had a few jokes that were way beyond inappropriate for that 7 o'clock show. There were families with young children in the audience since Spring Break was in progress. The comedian even addressed a young child in the audience and told him to tell his teacher the Not Nice joke. I spoke to the Cruise Director, John Blair, who said he apologized but as far as I know did not address the issue any further. Just saying!!
