Review summary

The cruise was great except for one thing. It was my wife's birthday on May 20 and I was assured that they would have a little ceremony with a little cake. I reminded the employee at the podium before we were seated. We waited till the end of our dinner and finally I reminded one of the waiters. Then they came over and sang a song but that was all. Aside for this everything was great.
