Review summary

The ship is well maintained.  I am not a fan of the larger ships but this one is laid out well and easy to get around. Despite having 4000+ passengers, it didn't seem overcrowded.  The only drawback was needing to make reservations for any of the shows.  Some shows were complementary and some had an additional fee.

The food in the Garden Café was excellent and they had a nice selection.  We ended up eating there for most meals as the service the dining rooms was horrible.  We tried each of the complementary dining rooms for dinner and the service was slow and in one dining room, we waited over 1/2 hr and the main meal came out before the appetizer.  That ended coming out after the main meal.  We had to ask 3 times for a drink.  It finally came.  We tried one of the specialty restaurants and the food and service was great.  I have been on 29 cruises and would probably not go on this ship again but that is just personal preference.  The ship was spotless and the islands were great. Overall it was a good cruise.

Did you not already read the review? She said the service was bad.

It wasn't an attack as I'm booked on it for a transatlantic next year so I'm interested!!! Don't assume!

Perhaps b/c of the dining room service? Or maybe the size of the ship? Why do people insist on questioning/attacking reviews? It's somebody's opinion. Read them and move on.

If the ship was spotless and was a good cruise, why would you not go back on it?
