Great Ship

It is amazing.  The ship was so great.  We had read reviews where people claimed that service was awful, crew members rude etc.  We found that the crew was great and very helpful.  We had to change and schedule show times.  No problem customer service was patient and helpful.  We had to change meal times again no problem.  We could not have had a nicer cabin steward.  For the most part sevice in the dining room was great.  It would have nice to have more variety in Windjamer.  But it was great to see the hand washing stations.  Two concerns  one  there is a dress code in Grande.  We thought that was nice, but it needs to be enforced.  Too many men allowed in not dressed appropriately.  They were given coats to wear but it seemed like a joke to them.  Some guys just wore the coats over their shoulder and then quickly took the coats off after they got inside.  That distracted from formal setting.  Two sometimes dining room waiters spent more time talking with each other rather than attending to the dinners.  At least one waiter was so hard to understand that I ended up with the wrong desert - no big problem but I really wanted a certain item.  On the other hand there were waiters who made you feel as if you were the most important people aboard.  We loved the classical music seminar.  I do wish that there was a way one could see some type of master schedule of shows, entertainment and movies so that one could better plan their day with meals etc.  But the most amazing thing was even though there so many people aboard the ship did not feel crowded.  We were always able to find places to relax. We also were impressed with the way we were able to get on  and off the ship.  Took very little time especially at the end of the cruise.  With so many things to do we ran out of time.  One thing that could help with the experience - on RC private island - it would have been nice if the beach sand could have been raked.  The broken shells were horrible. But over all the cruise was great.
