Review summary

Positives- Service was very good, rooms were accommodating, food was good, Bahamas stops were very good, drinks were very good.

Negatives - People hopping in line at buffets, people rushing into elevators before people could even get out, nothing on TV's in staterooms especially if you have kids, need more kids channels to occupy them on bad weather days, mornings and evenings.

Cabin / Stateroom

Room was great, of course a little small for a family of four but I understand.

Ship tip

Love the outdoor seating areas. If you have small children pack a DVD player and movies to occupy them, you can hook up to TV's.

There's no specific "cruise buffet" etiquette..... you go through the buffet as you would on land..... if you notice the thing you like us in the middle and you're stuck behind people deciding what they want in front of you.... there's no issue you passing them..... the line jumpers are the people who walk along the buffet (not in line) and dart in and out when they want something....

Never been in a cruise before so just wondering how the buffet works. I don't want to be a "line jumper" so I follow the person in front of me all through the buffer even though I know what I like is at the middle of the buffet???

The line jumpers and elevator issues have happened on every cruise I have been on. I try not to let it bother me but it can be annoying. What's important is that you enjoyed your cruise and hopefully you and your family have many good memories.

I agree on TV, line jumpers and elevator issues. What irks me is when someone gets in and pushes the floor they want, then they just HAVE TO PUSH the door close button!!! HELLO, it automatically will close the door! There might be others trying to get on. Wait the few seconds and let it close automatically!!
