Service and Staff

Stewards and bartenders were great... some of the wait staff was really good too but most were disorganized and getting the hang of the new ship... I guess!

They just built this port and man did they drop the ball. We were off the ship pretty good, then you get to the only elevator in the Brand New Parking Lot, and you wait 20+ minutes to go UP!
