Food and Dining

Excellent We did eat in Club Orange and the service was excellent. For those worried about being in fish bowl, the glass enclosure is now frosted glass. Rudi’s was even better than I expected.

High winds and very rough sea. First time the anchor was dropped it didn’t hold so the ship had to move a bit and do it again. Tender. Service was running over 90minute late. Around 1pm tender service was cancelled. It . People were getting seasick on the tenders

Luggage pick up was fine but getting to the bus for a very long walk. There were people directing us the whole way but I think it was over a half mile. Otherwise everything was okay.
