It was a family of 4 ( 17 year old girl and 20 year old boy) Getting on the ship was so easy and very professional. Go early to board ship so you can explore ! We booked all of our tours before we boarded. So we went to the Spa first to sign up for services they book up fast for the best times. I always make reservations to eat at a specialty restaurant for the first night!!!! That way everyone can get settled and have a quite dinner. I will say this for the first time the food in the main dinning room on this ship was fabulous. I really like to have a nice meal with a good glass of wine and a dessert. The presentation of the food, the quality of the food and the timely manner they were able to serve us was amazing. We enjoyed Canaletto the best. It was the best value for you money. The food was good the service was nice and friendly. Sad to say Pinnacle was nice. Our service was really slow (they were not full) needed to work on wine list reorder. It took us 3 times to finally find one they had. WE loved going to listen to the BBKIngs band in the Queen's Lounge every night. There would be all ages of people dancing and singing. We met so many fun people that we would go and sit together each night to listen. We enjoyed going to the Piano Bar to listen to Lex!!!! Do not miss out on Happy Hour at the Northern Lights every night!!! The laundry service did a great job with all of our clothes; whites, colors and even some dry cleaning. The formal nights were fun; my daughter loved it. You had all different levels of formal dressing. Bucket of beer is the best deal. We packed 6 bottles of wine in a carry case with our luggage. We had a glass in our room. What a great trip full of memories !!! Where do we go cruising next year??????
