Review summary
We had a great time with the embarking and disembarking. They have this down to a science.
The food was good in the Windjammer but couldn't tell you about the main dining room as they told me to dress accordingly or something like that. I brought nice Polo shirts and nice looking shorts. You MUST have long pants to enter the dining room. Would have been nice to see those words in print.
The pool was fun, saltwater was new to me so I was a little shocked at first but I like the ocean so this was a good thing. The hot tubs were just that. Hot, and comfortable. Loved them!
The bars were good. A couple were a bit "stuffy" for me but then again, I'm a more casual kinda guy (see dining room comments) so I didn't hang long there. The pool bar was the best by far. Friendly barkeeps and outside. What's not to love.
The room was CLEAN! The housekeeping was the best. The room was a little small but I wasn't there to play in the room. The shower is tiny. I'm a big guy and I had to step outside the small shower to change my mind.
Captain had great announcements. I could understand him every time and every time they were clear and concise. The information was spot on as far as times we're going to dock and leave and funny at times. I was able to meet him and he is very approachable and nice to talk to. Thank you Captain Tor!
Would I do it again? Yes, but on a bigger ship. Ten days is a bit long for a ship of this size, I ran out of places to play.
