Review summary

Having the Grand Suite and the VIP passes was worth it for the two adult children and two grandchildren travelling with us. They had regular rooms but were able to hang out with us any and all the time. Excellent!!!

Boleros Lounge

Although this isn't the right choice for the name of the bar, The Cigar bar was excellent, how nice to have a place for the gentlemen to meet each evening and relax. Luiz, the bartender was the best I've ever seen. He was personal and very well educated on many topics!

The ice shows and Grease were great, the comedian and married couple newlywed type of game left quite a bit to be deleted.

Lu Yun, Joel Correia and Sachin Patil were excellent and should you have them for meals or stateroom attendent... they are the best! The concierge Jackie Yabut was also the best ever!!!
