This was the first cruise my husband and I have ever taken. The cruise was arranged through Country Family Reunion and Larry's Country Diner and therefore they chose the cruise line. I had read numerous reviews of the ship prior to leaving and was a little concerned because I had read some poor reviews about food. I did not feel that way at all. My only complaint was at breakfast every day in the Garden Café we would have a hard time finding a table. Even if we chose different times to eat we always had to search for a table and then one of us would have to stay and hold our place.

I was very impressed with the cleanliness. I was concerned about that and there was always someone providing hand sanitizer. My only other complaint was on the last night of the cruise the staff seemed to be done with taking care of us and wanting to move on to the next group. service was slow that night. On departure morning we did have to ask that a table be cleaned to sit down. My suggestion to the cruise line is to train the staff that even though the cruise is coming to an end these customers are still expecting the same treatment

We ate at all of the complimentary restaurants and also at Cagney's. All the food was good. Unfortunately at Cagney's we were next to the area where the waiters fill water etc. I would request to not sit at this area.

Great deck to be situated . Close to the elevator. We were on the perfect side of the ship while cruising Sawyer Glacier and while coming into port,we could always see the ship dock which was fun.
