This was our first cruise and we chose the Zenith because of the smaller size and because we really didn&#39;t want to end up on a &quot;party boat&quot;. It was perfect for a first cruise&#33;  <br /><br /><br />It doesn&#39;t take long before you realize that the staff is a happy group and so very well trained. Everyone greets you with a smile and before long they start calling you by name. At our first dinner in the dining room I requested lemonade and from that night on, a glass of lemonade was placed before me as soon as I sat down.  <br /><br />I thought the food was great&#33; But I&#39;m ashamed to admit that my favorite meals were at the lunch buffet. Be sure to go to the sandwich station where they make up the sandwich of the day on a huge croissant roll.....yummy&#33; (I&#39;m still working on getting rid of those extra pounds I gained)  <br /><br />We didn&#39;t get off at Grand Caymen so I can&#39;t comment on the tours. We stayed aboard and enjoyed having the ship almost to ourselves. It&#39;s also a great time to get a lounge chair by the pool. It seems as though every morning people got out to lay claim to chairs earlier and earlier.   <br /><br />Key West was fun though all we did was stroll through the shops and had a drink at Capt. Tony&#39;s (my husband was there 30 years ago and felt we just had to stop in.  <br /><br />Debarkation didn&#39;t take long but it seemed as though it took us forever to find our bags. Maybe I&#39;ll paint big RED stars on them before our next cruise LOL  <br /><br />A word about room service....usually I&#39;d order a couple chocolate chip cookies for late night snack. On the last night we got to our room pretty late so I didn&#39;t bother (my husband had a few too many so I didn&#39;t figure he&#39;d want a snack). Anyway, when I got up in the morning there was a room service tray with a big sandwich on a roll and a half eaten sandwich. I asked Ray abt it and he laughed and said he&#39;d called room service to order a couple danish.....they brought 3 tuna sandwiches&#33;........guess he might have slurred his words LOL  <br /><br />All in all it was a super trip.......my only regret was that we didn&#39;t book our April 19th trip while we were onboard since it would have saved us some money.
