Seasoned cruisers with family wanted to try a new cruise line. The ship was fine- cabin a little small but nice balcony. Super great cabin attendant Robalito. Just a terrific helpful guy. Cabin was very clean and he made sure were happy with his services.

The ship is nice and there was always deck chairs which was super. The deck guys actually removed towels that appeared to be saving the chairs and replaced the towels with rolled up ones that signaled the chair was vacant. First night in formal dining was terrible service with over a 35 minute wait for ANYTIME. The hostess was at best cold and non personal. Second night-same hostess, same wait time, same attitude. But the service was personal and good. The ANYTIME dining is all we ever do and this ship sure had a screwed up system. Always a long wait for formal dining. Not a buffet guy much, but their service was terrific and the servers were super-cleaning tables, getting drinks and very attentive. I like the idea I could order wine at the buffet. If it wasn't for the servers there I would have reduced the gratuity for the servers.

There are a lot of games inside with little deck activity. It just wasn't FUN and rather slow slow paced. The production shows (20 did nothing. I detest comedians as they can't seem to tell humor without being vulgar but A J on this ship was hilarious and clean. They had a guy do Billy Joel and he was good. But the rest of the stuff was less than OK.
