This was our first cruise so comparison would be hard at this point. Embarking and disembarking went very smooth. The buffet where we ate all of our meals was OK..It wasn&#39;t opened as often as I would have liked. Hubby loved the 24 hr pizza&#33;&#33;   <br /><br />We didnt spend much times at the onboard shows. Spent sometime in the karaoke bar and entered the hairy chest contest and reverse scavenger hunt...hilarious&#33;&#33;   <br /><br />The bars were very good. Decor was fine. Most every body was smiling and having a great time. Not too many kiddos....T/G LOL&#33;&#33;    <br /><br />Only complaint would be lack of warning regarding the night before disembarking and the morning of....DONT FORGET TO EAT&#33; LOL&#33;&#33; We were soooo hungry the night before getting off and missed the early closing of ALL food stations&#33; No food after 6 pm...no coffee..nothing&#33; Room service is non-existant.   <br /><br />The morning of disembarkment: Beating on your door at 8 am....crowded elevators...crowded food line....wait and wait...wasnt prepared for it nor warned.
