1.  The crew had to be the thing that impressed me the most:  they were incredible!  So friendly, so helpful, ALL THE TIME!   Our cabin steward: Anton was simply the best.  He came in twice a day and made sure our room was comfy and clean.  He checked with us each day to see if we needed anything.  He was right "on top" of things!   I LOVED MY TOWEL ANIMALS!  2.  The cleanliness of the ship:  You never saw clutter, ever!  Everything was "spit spot" ALL THE TIME  3.  The activities . . . never a dull moment:  such a variety for all ages.  Entertainment was top-notch.  LOVED, LOVED, LOVED the shows . . . well executed.  If you were bored. . . it was your own fault. . . always something to do. 4.  The food:  don't ever think you'll go hungry on a cruise . . . can't happen.  The midnight buffet was simply breathtaking. 4.  There was never any hurry . . .

Disliked: air conditioning was not cool enough for us and there didn't seem to be enough air circulation. We talked to guest relations and a fan was placed in our room which helped. Our cabin steward: Anton was marvelous!

Food was very good! We ate breakfast and lunch in the Windjammer (good variety and taste). We ate dinner in the dining room each evening. Loved our waiter, Nilo and assistant waiter, Frazier . . . they were professional and fun! We never wanted for anything. Loved the food each night!
