Very good. We want to recognize 2 individuals in particular. El at the Magnum Bar she was always very happy and we felt like she truly wanted to ensure we had a great time. Stefen in the entertainment staff. One of the cruise director's staff. Everytime he saw us, we felt like best friends and he did everythingh he could to get us answers and assistance.
