Review summary

Please don't treat the staff like they are your servant. I saw this more than I care to describe. The crew works very hard to make sure you have a fabulous vacation. To treat them poorly is completely uncalled for.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

We ate at Cagney's, Le Bistro, La Cucina, Moderna, and Grand Pacific. The service was perfect on each. Some changes on the menus in the specialty restaurants. The food on all the venues was good.

We cruised 26 times and many top cabins — the 3 bedroom villa suite is the largest cabin and the service was impeccable . We were on a 12 night cruise from NYC to southern Caribbean and we took our kids / grandkids . Great cruise — as stated — would love to get this cabin again. Harvey F

Thank you for your review. For our 40th Anniversary and my husband's 65 birthday we are booked in 14500 and we're curious if it would be worth the extra cost.
