Over all it was a great cruise. Great ports, good entertainment, Nice ship, and met some great people. Downfall is the nickel and dime'ing. To many Pay extra food choices, and drink prices (including soda/pop 3.45 a glass which is not a full 12 oz can) are high, in some cases extremely high. I don't drink a lot, but this alone is a high decision factor in choosing a line/ship to cruise on.

Ship experiences
Food and Dining
2 out of 5
Main Dining was good, good food and service. To many specialty restaurants. I went to three of them, The italian was not what I expected.. limited menu. Steak and Brazilian were good. The Buffet, which I seldom go to as a rule, was just ok. Food wasn't that good, cold at times, not good choices.
Here is why only 3 start. Alcohol is expensive. One of my goto drinks is Jack and Diet. $19.95, given such its not included in the Unlimited drinks package if you have it. A Vodka pour was 19.95.. also not included, and if you go to the on board store, you can get Four (4) bottles for $100.

Service and Staff
4 out of 5
My interaction with the staff was good. Room steward was nice and efficient, though she did leave the water temp in shower all the way up HOT one day. For most part Waiters and Bartenders were good.
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
Nice ship, Once I got used to the layout it was good. (I've mostly done Carnival to date).
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
I had a Spa Balcony. Nice room, seemed little narrow, but not real bad. Good size bathroom with Glass door shower, so no curtain, which was nice. Balcony was actually little small.
Did a non-cruise line excursion. Was good, but didn't get to all things advertised. but got to hang out with monkeys, parrots and sloth and that was worth it. Beach they took us to was nice as well.
If you have the ubp you can ask the bartender for a soda from the soda gun in a plastic cup and it’s free. We drank water from the cups we brought and refilled at the buffet. Your steward will also bring you a pitcher of water for your room if you ask.
