Currently sailing back to Galveston. This has been a very nice cruise, just two little hiccups. Nothing to really complain that much about because being on a cruise is better than any day at work, right?
*TV (Networks) were out of service from Sunday until Wednesday morning. Wonder if that was on purpose?
*Internet was a major hassle getting connected (we paid in advance) but once we finally got on it has been awesome, no dropouts. We are using our laptop and it's so much better than using a tiny phone screen.
*There are a lot of kids, teenagers and screaming babies onboard, making it a challenge to move around and enjoy peace at times. They are also in the bars which is annoying. The employees try to minimize them but don't want to piss the parents off. Seems there are no boundaries anymore.
*The ship is clean and well taken care of.
*Our balcony cabin is very clean, new carpet and bathroom is spotless. New mattress (still too firm for us) but better with an egg crate on it (which was provided for us) Yea!
*Cabin steward will only come one time a day and you can choose AM or PM service.
*You now have to ask for: Paper Compass and ice in the room. Room amenities are bare minimum but you can always ask for additional items.
*Diamond benefits: No problem with the 4 drink vouchers and we ordered top shelf liquor with no upcharge at all bars. The Diamond Lounge has been awesome this cruise and is never full. Employees are very attentive; food & desserts are delicious and the Coffee/Espresso machine is working perfect!
*Entertainment is good.
All in all, another wonderful cruise...NOT looking forward to getting off tomorrow! Any questions? Fire away......
