Embarkation: The embarkation was a smooth process through the port in Fort Lauderdale. We were able to meet up with some of the cruise critic group at the Sunset bar. The group was nice and the guitar player very good, unfortunately the sunset eclipse drink which sounded so very good wasn't available due to the lack of some of the ingredients at the bar and the mojito wasn't very good.

Dinning Room: Moving on to the dining room was a bit disappointing with being seated at a table for four and only the two of us there. The waitress was very nice, but very quite and not informative. The sommelier was not very helpful and stated she was very busy, again with little information, we were told all of the wines are good and no recommendations were offered. The food was 50/50 - the vegetable korma was excellent, but the prime rib was mediocre. Later we found out that they were running short of prime rib so they were cutting it much thinner. After a bit of trouble, we were finally able to get our tabled changed to a larger group which was wonderful. Dinner again was 50/50-the veal chop was excellent but the NY strip was tough as were the crepes for dessert. However the company this evening was wonderful. Throughout the cruise, the steak dishes were hit or miss, sometimes great, sometimes not so good. As the cruise progress, the steak did get better. The rest of the food was wonderful. Even our sommelier seemed to improve and recommended a few good wines, even though she couldn't pronounce some of the names. Our waiter GiGi and assistant waiter Aya were top notch, the best I've experience in my 28 cruises to date. One note: We only ate at the Moonlight Sonata for dinner, no specialty restaurants.

Spa: Spa services were very good service for both a facial and massages. As well, the hair salon did a fabulous job. Read more
