Review summary

Overall, we enjoyed the accommodations - ratings = 8 (1-10 scale)

the staff was very attentive to us - ratings = 9

the food and the food selections were good - ratings= 7

for dinner our waiter, Felix Forbes and our assistant waiter, Godwin Fernandas both took great care of us. They were very attentive and did a wonderful job of anticipating our needs.

our stateroom attendant, Eric Audain kept our room in great shape.

Our room carpet needed to be cleaned and new curtains should have been replaced.

The entertainment was good (Rating a 6 overall)

The Neil Diamond and Temptations review were both very well done.

Lou Garza (from American Idol) was fantastic.

The "comedian" after Lou Garza was not a comedian. My wife and each have over 35 years in the military, we have both worked extensively in construction fields. We both have worked around people who use foul language. We don't feel like we need to hear the FXXX Word used through out a comedy act. The first time it was used was within the first 30 seconds of his act. If he can't be funny without the FXXX Word than he isn't funny.

Don't use profanity, obscene or other objectional content.

Overall the Cruse was very enjoyable!

Hot tub needs to be hotter. Mini Golf was fun. While viewing the glacier it would have been nice to have hot chocolate and coffee server on deck.

Eric Audian (Stateroom Attendant, Felix Forbes (Waiter) Godwin Fernandas (Assistant Waiter) did a wonderful job. The waiter in the Windjammer during Breakfast who served coffee while balancing a tray of coffee cups on his head was awsome! lots of fun!!1
