Review summary

The Cruise Director and his staff was very good but I was very disappointed that the money I paid for an excursion that was cancelled was put into our On Board credit account which forced me to spend the money or lose it. I should not be forced to spend money I don't want to spend. I could have used that money for an excursion in Nassau if I chose to do so but you eliminated that decision.

several shows were cancelled and when we ate in the Taste or Savor the service was so slow that it made it difficult to catch some of the shows.

Didn't have any children that would be involved in any children's programs

Service and Staff

Service in the Manhattan dinning room was very good but extremely slow in the Taste and Savor dinning rooms.

Ship Quality

The ship was very clean but for such a new ship it just didn't seem to be anything exceptional about it.

A little trick for when the move refunds to your On Board credit is to go gamble. Have all the money changed into chips, do a $1 on a slot machine and then cash out your chips to cash.
