Get to the pool early.....place your towel and dine. If you do not return within the hour staff will remove your towel and you'll be looking for another chair.

Did not like the Windows Restaurant as it was too noisy from the engines. We wished the Main Dining Rooms were open earlier in the morning so we could go before our excursions. The morning buffet was absolutely awful with no where to sit except outside in the cold and the guests were rude & pushy.

Try to eat in the main dining room for breakfast instead of the buffet. They have the same food, but you don't have to deal with the mass chaos of finding a table and eating cold eggs and pancakes.

We booked excursions through Shore Excursions as well as the ship. The former were much cheaper and smaller groups, just as well run - easier in one sense in that you just walked off the ship whereas the ones through the ship required meeting in the large hall then waiting to be called like cattle.

We booked our entire trip on Priceline and so glad we did because we got a window room plus the ultimate food and beverage package and onboard credit. We recommend getting the ultimate food and beverage package if you drink at all and love food! We got it at a discount through priceline, so worth it

For example: Try to get a window in Windows dining room. Cabins are small, a balcony is a must. I always tip cabin steward on the very first day; results are amazing. Ask to share table with others; you are bound to meet at least 2 interesting passengers. Don't purchase pictures from Photo Gallery until last day

The WI-FI service expensive, so plan to "unplug" for a week. Makes for such a better restful, un-distracted vacation!

If you go to eat at the restaurants at the prime time, it was a long wait but they will give you a coupon to go have a glass of champagne to the bar to get you of their hair.

Go to the windows dining room for breakfast. Same food as the buffet and service is much better. Loved the Blue Lagoon for wings and beer when tired from the excursions or just tired of regular food.

If you have to tender, get to the tender office early so you can get an early tender. I was able to get 1st tenders for our group both times and that was wonder.

Here's a tip............cruise with another company!

Book the earliest time possible to get off the ship (so when they fall behind schedule, you are not stuck for hours like we were).

Arrive on time to the theater when the call excursions. They are unbelievably efficient. If it says your excursion will leave at 7am, you will leave at 7am.

Might not want to sit by the windows in Windows Dining Room; vibration of the engines disrupts comfort during your meal

At the Windows most nights we got right in but on the nights we didn't we got a buzzer to let us know when our table was ready. The buzzer works everywhere on the ship so we went up to the Atrium and had a drink while we were waiting.

I would only go on this ship again if it went on an itinerary I really wanted. And if I did use this ship, I would want to upgrade my room and eat in the specialty restaurants more often.

Try to have a sit-down breakfast in the main dining room as often as possible. Such a nice treat.

Do not go on this boat it does not handle well getting to ports as planned for some unknown reason 😏

Very small ship, not a lot to do. Make sure you don’t have many sea days.
YoungCouple
Try and make reservations for the sit down complementary restaurants.
