Review summary

Beautiful cruise ship!

Excellent food!

Your staff is simply unbelievable.  Excellent service, very polite, courteous and extremely hard working.  Please make sure auto-tipping goes to your staff.

Pool chair etiquette:  The ONLY item I can suggest for improvement is to educate passengers on pool chairs.  I would do this during the safety presentation when ALL passengers are present.  The practice of setting a towel, or bag on a chair to "reserve" in the AM, to not return for many hours is something you should not be allowed, and inform passengers that their items will be removed if not used for 1-hour.

There is only so many chairs above deck, and seeing chairs not being able to be used for hours on end while other paying passengers wandered around was disappointing and frustrating.

Entertainment options were an A+.

We loved the comedians, burn the floor dance show, as well as drag queen show (cant remember the name).

Would have loved to see the Jamaican band play sooner and longer on 15th floor as they were the best band on the ship!!!

I would recommend your cruise line to anyone who would listen, simply fantastic!

Cabin attendant was wonderful. Remembered our names, and greeted us EVERY time we saw him. Cabin was very practical and laid out well.

Ship tip

Go see EVERY show possible. Not much of a song/dance fan myself, as I would not have gone to these shows at home, but I found that I had a great time at every show. whoever picked out the shows did a fantastic job.

The deck chair problem is a nightmare.. last time on the Jade we admittedly saved loungers too only to join in with other people and not miss out. You will never stop it and the staff aren't monitoring usage etc ... Anyway, we are sailing on the Epic on 6th Sept from Rome and we can't wait!! Wahoo!!!
