    The view from the deck and the servers were very endearing. The desserts should be full size slice of cake instead of miniature cubes

    Great food, music and ambiance made for an unforgettable evening. The crew was nice and friendly, loved dancing from dinner to docking!
    Everything was great except for one thing.
    Road_t, May 2023
    The staff was very good. The ship was clean, and attractive. The food was excellent. We enjoyed the views and music. Our only complaint is that we were furthest from the food, and it took a long time to get to us. The people closest to it, had their food, and were going back for seconds, and thirds, before we even arrived at the buffet tables. We even had to jump in front of someone who was going for a refill. Some things were empty, and we had to wait, quite a bit longer for them to refill and some, like the Greek salad, was never refilled. When we went for dessert, there two empty trays of maybe cookies, not sure, and some pudding, but not much. I asked if they could refill the trays and they never did. There were no spoons to eat the pudding. When I asked for 2, at the bar, was given 2 plastic forks. I think that having the people furthest from the buffet tables, go first, and then announce, no refills until all were served, and police that. Then announce that refills can be had. We have gone on other, such dinner cruises. This is the first time that we had that issue. Also, keep an eye on the food trays to never make anyone wait for it to be refilled. We were very hungry by the time we were able to get to the food and then had to wait for some refills, though some were not refilled, and we did not want to wait to eat. It was a long wait for us. Otherwise, we enjoyed it but that, considering the cost, because I would have liked to go for 2nds, but what I wanted a 2nd of, was never refilled. The photographer took beautiful pictures, also. We would do it, again, but only if we were assured that the issue with the food was corrected. Thank you. Sincerely, Janet and Richard LaCava

    The most memorable for me was after paying over $100 per ticket and I purchased 3 tickets, you don’t even get complimentary tea, lemonade or any beverage with your meal. That’s ridiculous. Then the ladies bathroom was disgusting. I was on the 7:30 PM cruise.

    I bought my fiancee tickets for Mother's Day, but she unfortunately contracted COVID. She was hospitalized for more than a week. I requested a refund as a courtesy, but the company is incredibly rude and insensitive.
    Had a great time
