Read all the information left outside your door or on your bed - all worth the time to be up to date on activities etc. Request a statement the evening of the last night at sea, it gives you time to check for errors and have them corrected before the final statement is processed.

Get up Early for Short Lines

When you first get on the ship, make sure to make a reservation for the Pinnacle Grill. It is a speciality restaurant with an added fee but is well worth the extra charge. They book up quickly, especially for popular times.

Enjoyed all staff especially Lido deck. It was nice to have tacos and burgers around the pool for something different at lunch. Loved Happy Hour for drinks and appetizers.

Go to the Lido for breakfast. Be early. Use the hand wash stations before you use the serving spoons of the trays. Go for omelettes Give a tip to a server to bring your food in your table; Go to the Rotterdam for forma dining;

A room with a balcony is the best way to cruise.

Don't miss 3:00 pm High Tea. Go for open dining instead of a specific seating time. Bring a couple of bags. Eat at the Canaletto Italian Restaurant at least once.

Eat every meal you can in the dining room. The food is amazing. Especially dinner.

Loved the ship; small enough that by the third day you knew everyone on board. Very functional and extremely easy to "navigate"

Lido desk is great for quick meals. Dining room is great for variety of food, taste and service. Entertainment in lounges was great. Try them all out.

due to the flu scare, llnes were long with having to be served by staff. If you want a veranda I would recommend a deluxe veranda suite.
