A splendid time. Went out for grandpa's 81st birthday. Cruise was sold out and I was expecting to be crammed in like Sardines. Not the case.
We had a party of 7 and we were seated at a table for just our group. Joe was our server and did a marvelous job. Food was OK, about what I would expect from a $10-15 buffet. No sushi.
The cruise was well organized, and after brunch we hit the top deck for some fantastic shots of the Cleveland coast line. Most of the cruise was inside the breakwall. After eating, we had over an hour to enjoy the trip.
There's a DJ spinning some tunes and sending happy birthday wishes. The only real negative was the temperature in the dining area. Our table was set off in a corner of the first deck. The a/c didn't get back here very good. The outside temperature was 84 and it was about 80 at our table. Surprisingly, there wasn't much of a breeze on the outside decks.
