—A steward made your bed and tidied up your stateroom
every day. The was a shipboard newspaper if you really
wanted to keep up with the
headlines. There were two swimming
pools, a spa, a casino (I came
out $2.00 ahead for the voyage!), several bars and a lounge near our dining room where it just
felt right to dance with Fran
almost every night before dinner.
—Drinks were not included in the ticket price, so you
weren’t subsidizing the
boozers. But there were lots of drink
stewards and sommeliers to cater to your every alcoholic desire
whether it was Johnny Walker
Black on the rocks by the pool or a glass of house wine with dinner.
—There were lots of lounge chairs on deck and a jogging
track around the swimming
pools. We didn’t even visit all the
nooks and crannies that were
available. We found several we liked and used them frequently. There was a library/reading room, a game room, a coffee bar, ice cream shop, and fancy
pastries.
