Good Points

All the resturant staff, room stewards, bartenders, entertainers were polite and did an excellent job.

My cabin was always clean, Towels and perishables from the refrigerator were replaced quickly. I think the room stewards looked over the room at least 3 times per day.

The on board entertainment was excellent. I saw a variety of musical, magic, and comedy acts. Many of the games conducted by the cruise entertainment staff were quite amusing, and I am glad they replayed them on the ship's tv channel so I could see what I missed during daily excursions.


Bad Points

The front desk staff was surprisingly the least helpful/curteous of cruise employees. I wouldn't go as far to say they were rude, but certainly didn't offer many suggestions when problem solving.
The food in the speciality restaurants wasn't well described in the menus. For example some dishes were spicy but never described in that manner.

The photos were expensive. On formal night, I was with a large group and only wanted the group shot on the staircase but the photographers insisted we do the individual poses at the other 2 photo locations.


General Comments

This was my first cruise, but I completely enjoyed it. The few negative points I have listed here were minor compared to the overall enjoyment of my time spent in onboard.

    We too found the speciality restaurants not as good as other aspects of the ship. Although we had no complaints about the front desk, we also got the impressions that they were not as helpful as they could have been. We NEVER accept photographs in those situations! So, agree with your review.

    LEAVE THE FRONT DESK STAFF ALONE! Maybe that's why they're rude! People automatically go up to the front desk with out making any effort to solve the situation or question on their own!
