Todd, I can say that we saw no difference in the dining. Of course ours was the epicurean cruise with chefs onboard from Relais & Chateaux resorts. Also, try to dine a few times in the Terrace Cafe for dinner. They have a fixed 5 course menu that offers alternate choices by candlelight in the evenings. You have to make reservations with the maitre d' ahead of time. Also, Le Champagne is a must do at least once, especially if you are a wine affecianado. I don't think they have Two Buck Chuck though!!! LOL

As the cruise gets within the last 60 days you might check back with SS and see if either cabin 535 or 537 have been filled. These are shared balcony Vista suites that are handicapped and they are held back for people with special needs. They will release those a few weeks after final payment if they have not been booked. They are about 400 sq ft. instead of 287 sq ft and the extra room is nice. The bath is a bit different with no seperate tub and only one sink but a huge shower. Looking forward to seeing you at Mimosa a week from Sunday!
