Review summary

Very enjoyable but as my comments indicate, there are small things that need improvement.

Embarkation

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Dining: very good but less than other lines. Buffet: very good. However they need to make some stations (i.e. salad bar, buffet food) self-serve. Having one server prepare the plates for one person at a time is very time consuming.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

Nothing. And I liked it.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Glad the entertainment was limited to their lounges. No loud, obnoxious entertainment ruining the upper deck.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Excellent: Aileen, Bert/Ocean Bar, Ellys/Buffet, and Hatha/Room Maintenance deserve special recognition.
