Review summary
We loved the staff on this cruise. Our room steward Yendri was polite, friendly, and he kept the room clean. We had open seating, but found we needed a reservation to get a table in a timely fashion. We ended up at the same table nearly every night and the waiter at table 134 was just great. He remembered we all liked tea, and he had it for us nearly as soon as we sat down.
A BIG minus on this trip was the lack of port time in every port except Port Canaveral where there wasn't much to do if you had already been to the Space Station.

Ship tip
We loved the staff on this ship. We had taken a Holland cruise in June and even though it was great, this ship had more friendly staff than that one.

We always use open seating and also usually get the same servers. The next time you are in Port Canaveral, visit the Exploration Tower right in the ports. It takes only a couple of hours to go through the seven floors and you will get a great photo of your ship in port. Jetty park is a nice beach just outside of the port.
