we’ve been on the CB three times now and generally love this (and the sister) ships. Having the walk around promenade is always wonderful. If you’re used to Princess (style, service, processes) it’s more of the same…predictable and steady. The music is a little more current this voyage, which has been a welcome surprise. Also delighted that there is a special vegan menu in the main dining room. The only complaint is about Vines Bar. No, I’ll not start the “wine bar vs full bar” argument LOL. Two issues: the seating is still terrible (always has been on this ship). High top tables and backless stools crammed in to a space which is too small. We remember this from prior voyages so we knew it was going to be uncomfortable…The real disappointment this time is the service. We are no stranger to Vines and we are not having the classic experience. Zero table service, a less than optimal selection of wines on the menu (we are selecting wines still in stock which used to be featured), and we have to expressly ask for the ridel glassware every time. The Wine Tender is working is butt off it’s just poorly staffed on this voyage (ship?) and it’s noticeable. Other than that, it’s a great ship with a line that is predictable.

Heavensent: SCFCruiser is correct. There is a small ‘splash pad’ aboard. Nothing special, but the little tikes seem to enjoy it.

With early poor weather, a medical emergency, and a canceled day at Cays, we’re looking forward to Puerto Rico!
