We don’t like to spend a lot of time at sea since we don’t usually participate in the onboard activities. Our days at sea were spent lying in the sun and reading and listening to music. It wasn’t really warm enough to use the lovely pool but lying in the lounge chairs was very comfortable…and the cappuccino was pretty good too.
There were lots of specialty rooms in which to spend time. We even participated in Friday night Shabbat services in the library.
The food was excellent in the buffet and we had a hard time pulling ourselves away from the many choices to go to the specialty restaurants. Unlike many other cruise ships, this trip included a limited number of reserved visits to the Italian and Steakhouse restaurants. Both were excellent with great service, interesting menus, and good wine. We even got a table-side presentation of a variety of olive oils and balsamic vinegars: who knew there were so many to choose from?
Tip: Make your dinner reservations in advance to get the times you prefer. Offer to share a table in order to get the time you want and to meet other people.
