make reservations for the dining room if possible. Of course on the days you are in port everyone races back to have dinner and there tends to be lines.

5:30 is too early for us to eat dinner, when we went at 6:00 we didn't have to wait quite as long, maybe 15 min for a table, and a window seat.

The ship has a smell of mold in elevator.

Make your specialty restaurant reservations the first priority when you board, especially for Teppanyaki and Le Bistro as the reservations go quickly.

The ship is small and you will feel movement all over the ship. If this is an issue, take heed. All of the restaurants were wonderful with one exception, Shogun Asian Restaurant was horrible. There were plenty of lounge chairs if you just looked.

TRY THE BLUE LAGOON ON DECK 7. GOOD FOOD AND SERVICE FOR AN IN BETWEEN MEAL EXPERIENCE.

If you plan a cruise make sure you get a room with a balcony!

Only wait for dining room was 1st & last evening. Reservations generally not needed.

Smaller ship = less dining options and things to do.

See the complaints I talked about in the above survey.

For a quiet spot to sit and read, try Deck 7 Starboard side. You are in the shade and Henry's Pub and the coffee bar are steps away when you need your drink replenished. Oh, and buy the beverage package. There are very few drinks that are not covered in the package, including wine at dinner.

If you're not an early riser plan to sit outside during breakfast at the buffet and at the back of the ship during the afternoon because there is very limited room next to the pool. Also the whole half of the midship outdoor ares are smoking.

Make reservations for the Windows or Garden restaurants via the phone, like about 2 hours prior to wanting to eat. They will get you right in. No reservations, you will wait, even though there are empty seats all over. Get a cabin with a balcony. We wish we would have done that.

For the main dining rooms, it is sometimes hard to actually 'dine when you want'. During peak periods there is a bit of a wait unless you make a reservation very early in the day. Be sure to put your name in to win Dinner With An Officer. I won!

Be aware that some cabins on level 6 are under the restaurants; therefore, one must walk to the front of the ship to access upper decks by elevator.

We loved the back end of the ship. Even though that was the location of the kid's pool, the bar there was our favorite and it was less crowded and hectic than the Tivoli pool area. Head there late in the afternoon to view the sunsets. By then it was pretty empty and private.

We ate at the Garden Resturant and really enjoyed it.

I would think twice about booking a trip on this ship.

Make dinner reservations. Hit the entertainment areas/bars there is some great talent and fun.

I wish I had a suggestion on how to get a window seat in the Windows restaurant; one night (our reservation), we had a nice table close to the window, and another night (with a couple who had made the reservation), we were placed next to the kitchen door at a terrible table.
