Getting on and off the ship was very smooth. The staff on this ship is very friendly and they work very hard. I didn't have one problem with any member of the staff on our cruise. The Kids Club was awesome and our son had the time of his life. The staff should all get raises for there hard work with the kids. Nice ship and tons of things to do. I would say the food in the Garden Cafe was substandard. Very strange choices and it was just OK. We had some good meals in the cover charge establishments and in the main dining room. They need to fix the Garden Cafe. We do a lot of gambling and I have to say the casino was so tight it wasn't funny. Unless you play table games or video poker I would stay out of the casino on this ship, you and your money will so be parted. What they charge for photos was the biggest joke. Take your camera everywhere you go and take your own pictures. I don't understand this policy of charging for sodas. I know first hand from operating my own eating establishment that soda out of a bar gun is about 2 to 3 cents per serving. I bought a soda card for me and my son and with the gratuity it was over $100 to drink soda on the cruise. Lets not even start if you wanted a beer. I would rather pay more upfront and get certain items on the house. I came off the ship feeling like they snuck into my room at night and took money out of my wallet. This was my second cruise so I don't know what other lines do but I will do a little more digging before I book my next cruise. Overall, we had a great time and the ship and staff was very nice. It's the little things that can put a dark cloud on a trip. Would I go again, maybe.
