Review summary
Hard getting aboard and dining reservations impossible...long lines, cold food!
Dining improved, food still lukewarm, crew so kind.
Not having reserved seating meant waiting for a "buzzer!" Then we had to go back and wait in line for the buzzer. When we were called to go in to dinner, the table the staff took us to was already full. Back to waiting in line AGAIN!
Barely had time to eat lunch the first day...no silver on table, asked three waiters before we finally received utensils. Then before we were finished, muster call! Muster call disorganized. Captain yelled "Silence, NOW!" Pretty scary for a beginning.
Had several nice cocktail parties from Club 21. Staff in casino was really nice. Great waitress, Hannah, who always appeared when we wanted her.
Room steward very efficient, room service exceptional.
