What a wonderful cruise. The days at sea were fantastic, and the ports were ok. The service was fantastic, the food, amazing. The only drawback was the cabin being so small, and the bathroom extremely small.
Gatsby's the Martini Bar was a wonderful place to watch the sunset. The evening "munchies" changed every night. To further compliment it, they had a wonderful piano player. Never overcrowded at any time. The only drawback is that it is also a cigar bar, so the non smoker may have a problem.
We never did the traditional dining room. Every meal was in the Le Bistro. What an amazing experience. I can't understand why anyone would want to eat at the regular sitting. The service was beyond compare, the food fantastic, and well presented, and the service impeccable.
The cabin was extremely small. If you were of any size the shower just won't make it. There is no way two people could be in the bathroom at the same time. Almost claustrophobic.
The entertainment was decent. Mostly canned music and lip synced. The dancing was cute, and the shows were short...about 45 minutes each with the longest an hour.
Never a loss on what to do. If you were in port the excursions were nice, but I prefer a local taxi and a nice ride around the area. On board the cruise director had a variety of pool side games going on, and for the more sedentary person there were many table games going on inside the ship.
Most of the people were nice. With all the cruises we have taken we have yet to really run into obnoxious people. You will always find someone who will butt in line or cut you off. Mostly the other cruisers were in the age range of 20 to 60 and older. There were several honeymooners, and a large group of seniors. Hardly any children.
