Review summary

:oved it. This is our second cruise, and it was even better than the first. Planning on another one soon. I would recommend this cruise to anyone. Elderly, to babies. The staff is great. Always smiling and friendly. The lady at the Buffett greeted us daily with washy washy, smiley smiley, or Happy Happy.

Embarkation

A little long, but it went fairly smooth. They should offer those with handicap issues a [lace to sit or shorter lines

Glad you received the proper buffet greeting. Hope you complied, and made everyone happy. I am sure a third cruise is in the works. Enjoy.
