We chose this cruise because it was a four night cruise leaving front tampa which is the easiest port for us, because it was a Christmas cruise that still gets us home for the big day! From the very beginning it was one pleasant experience after the other. We found the entertainment to be great and plentiful. Our room steward was super, always keeping us with a bucket of ice from the first day. The food was great for the most part. Our last cruise was on the Princess line and we think their food was better but we never went hungry! The waiter was great and fast and knowledgeable. The ship was beautiful and very clean. It was a smaller ship which we actually prefer. The boarding process was smooth and efficient and the key program streamlined everything as promised! It was wonderful lying poolside in the warm sunshine listening to Christmas music. The staff truly made us feel like there was no where they’d rather be than partying with us!
