The elevators were awful, took over a half hour to get one to stop so we could get our life preservers back to the room after the muster drill.
Keep an eye out, there were dolphins playing at the front of the ship, and we saw whales in the ocean not too far off.
If you are a lottery scratch off addict, they have their own that they sell at the beginning of bingo. Kiwi is very entertaining. (the rest of the helpers during bingo are the dancers from the shows)
For all those smokers out there, the most relaxing place to have a drink & a cigarette was on the starboard (right hand looking forward) side of the continent pool on the lido deck. Covered in case of bad weather, deck chairs to lounge, tables to eat at, bar a few feet away, movie screen. There was an ashtray on the balcony & one attached to the wall in the bathroom, but I did not smoke in the room.
If you get invited to the "art auction" for the free glass of champagne, most of the pieces started in the thousands, the first one auctioned went for 10,000. So unless you have the money, that time is best spent elsewhere.
The gentleman playing the piano at the bar in the lobby was awesome. All without sheet music.
Best not to arrive right on time for dinner, be a couple minutes late to avoid the mob scene.
RYAN FROM SOUTH AFRICA IS THE BEST WAITER EVER!!!!!!!!!! Paris, lower level 6 o'clock seating.
If you are going to the shows, get there early for the best seating, I swear people were wrestling each other for seats as showtime got closer.
Tip the room service people when you order, when you sign for the food, there is no charge, so there is no auto tip. Have breakfast at least once in your cabin, it is very relaxing. Try the roast sirloin & brie if you order a sandwich. It was delicious.
Loved how the steward lined up my shoes while I was out.
If you get a chance to upgrade to the penthose suite-do so, just for the bathtub alone.
I enjoyed the whole thing & would go back to Canada on a longer cruise.
