Review summary
The cruise was very well organized, timely schedule and good service. I'm concerned though with what appears to b e a 1 man show cruise. The captain did not show up at the captains night. I understand that the weather was not good but it took no more than 10 minutes for the staff to present itself. The captain never showed up on the "captains night". His personnel should be competitive professionals who should be able to take control of the ship for at least 10 minutes! The menu at Tides must be more diversified and offer "finer" dinning options. After cruising wih Carnival twice, Cunnard, Holland America and NCL, The Tides dining menu was somewhat deceptive, good food though, but must improve in quality offerings. Wind Jammer was excellent with better offerings and more diversified.

Ship tip
Get the beverage package. Even if you are not a heavy drinker. We are a 1 glass of wine at dinner time and a 1 beer during the day and it still makes sense to get it.
