retdon Posted March 24, 2018 #1 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Just off the Z and what a beautiful job on the dry dock. New carpets, chairs, bathrooms, etc. We were in an SS cabin and really like the new look and the huge TV except for it being over the sofa, no comfortable place to watch TV except in bed. We did not eat in the Main Dinning Room for dinner, ate in the Lido Marketplace for lunch an dinner. Mariners lunch was OK, not a fan of spicy food. We did get our Bronze Medallion and met the Captain, very nice person. We did not go to any of the entertainment shows. This was a very needed cruise to relax and chill out. We never got off the ship. Casino was great, hit a large jackpot on the slots and never hit anything else. Blackjack is my game and I did very well. Casino staff were great, fun and friendly. On board shopping has changed, prices are higher and selection is less. Only got a couple of tees for the grand kids and some cologne for myself. Lobster was not served in the Lido on the last Gala night as it had been on past cruises, big disappointment for us. We are not into dressing up for dinner but if you want lobster you will have to go to Main Dinning room or order from them for in cabin delivery. Went to Pinnacle Grill one night, king crab legs were excellent and a huge serving, steaks were over cooked and tough. Service was good, don't think we will go back again as this was the second time on a different ship we had poor quality steaks. Had room service breakfast every morning except one that we ate in the Lido, very crowded and hard to find a table. Weather was great only one night we felt any motion at all. Cloudy when we went through the canal but temperature was pleasant. I have the When and Where and will answer any question I can but remember we were on the ship for the entire 10 days. Overall a very relaxing, quiet cruise and it was just what we wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare 3rdGenCunarder Posted March 25, 2018 #12 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Thanks for posting. The cabin decor is an improvement. Not sure about the bathroom, though. That diagonal tile design is a bit hard on the eyes. The TV over the sofa annoys me, but it seems to be the only way they can do it. I've seen this on other ships as they add large flatscreens. There's no other blank wall to put the TV on, unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
