There are not enough accolades to describe this cruise.

We found the Activities staff exceptional! They were approachable and fun! There were numerous activities and my husband and I took advantage of many. We never got involved before but the staff was so pleasant and convincing. We had a blast!

We met several people with whom we still correspond that we met during our daily trivia.

The only disappointment was we spent several hours building our ship and entered the ship building contest. We combed the islands for just the right things. Our ship held the required 6 pack of coke that floated on one of the hot tubs (:. However, a couple of young children entered the contest. The vote was determined by applause. The children won): Our only suggestion is that they have a adult and a children's category.

We participated in the talent show etc, etc.

The assistant activities director was AWESOME! We want to revisit this ship so we will be able to see her again.

The food was great! We especially enjoyed the Lido Deck for a more casual dinner. The food was just as good.

PS Don't try the danish and raisin bread I'm still trying to lose the extra pounds. They were deadly (:

We had a wonderful time and recommend it to everyone!

Happy Cruising
