I took my teen son on this cruise from Bayonne during the NYC Schools spring break. It was just the two of us -- my husband had to work. We shared a twin bedded balcony cabin on the 11 deck, midship. On arrival our beds were not separated but our cabin steward took care of this while we explored the ship in the afternoon. I'd already booked the bogo for dinners before boarding so we had dinner on night one at Chops and night two at Jaime's.

Both meals were good and service was good but a downside was that the teen meet/greet was this first night and at the same time as our dinner. My son never did make friends on board and I felt badly that I did not know in advance that this was going to happen. I would have scheduled the meal much earlier. We did have a strange thing happen at Chops. The waiter could not answer a simple question about the wine. He was unwilling to find me someone who could answer my question. I ultimately did not order the wine. I mentioned it to a ship services person and someone from restaurant services tracked me down at Jaime's to answer the question. I also got a call in my cabin the next day from someone else making sure my question was answered. It was a little overkill but I wouldn't have said no to a glass of wine, which I didn't get. We went to our standing res. at the main dining room on night 3. Everything was great but the waiter, busboy and restaurant manager for our section gave me grief about not coming to the main dining room on nights 1 and 2. I had to apologize. It was strange. The ship should notify the main dining room when passengers have other reservations. It should not come as a surprise .. we are all on the same ship. On night 4 we had dinner in Wonderland and enjoyed it a lot.

We enjoyed the shows -- and yes some shows were postponed due to the rocky seas -- better that than someone get hurt. I watched another performance from two of the singers instead. Great voices. We Will Rock You was terrific and we even went back to see the ending a second time. Read more
