How about the service?
I love eating that’s why I started with the food but I know most of you will look at the service in the cruise. So let me share a first hand experience to you. The service of the staff was fantastic. They are all hospitable and consistent. I don’t know if the service depends on who the passenger is but base on my observations, they treat their guests equally. And of course, the activities while on cruise! The professional act was excellent. We laugh until we almost cry. They were funny and entertaining. You will enjoy the presentations and the music – the voice of the singers were amazing.
