It's taken a while to organise my thoughts and impressions about our B2B cruises on Shadow. We joined the ship in San Diego for two Caribbean cruises, back-to-back, finishing in NYC We had, just one day before, landed in LA after a cross-Pacific cruise on Royal Princess, so we were able to make some interesting comparisons. Boarding was streamlined, pleasant and quick, particularly after our horrendous experience with Princess, with 90+ minutes spent standing and shuffling forward in interminable queues. Our suite was ready and waiting, complete with champagne in the ice bucket, table set and glasses laid out. Unfortunately (for us), we hadn't been able to secure a balcony cabin, but our outside cabin was light, bright and airy with a large window (which eased my fears as a tragic claustrophobic). The room was spotless and in good order, particularly the bathroom. (The shower turned out to be one of the best we've ever had in some 40-odd cruises -- hot, powerful flow and plenty of room. Love those separate handheld shower heads to reach those hard-to-get-at bits!) The ship herself is no spring chicken, but the interior, while not "flashy" was kept in top condition by the dedicated crew. They were forever washing, polishing, painting, replacing to make sure the age-related wear and tear was at a minimum. It is a supremely comfortable ship. And it's the first time I've seen decks and railing pressure washed on a ship! There have been some changes since the cruise line changed hands. My wife noticed, for example, that toiletries have changed from Bvlgari to Otivm. As she says, still nice, but ... We have to talk about food. In all honesty, we can't fault what we had. Yes, the servings may be what some would call "small". But that's subjective. We NEVER left hungry. It's a meal FGS, not a pig-out! Entree, plus main, plus dessert and I defy anyone normal to say they haven't eaten enough! I love steak. Let me be blunt ... I NEVER had a steak I would consider less than optimal both in quality of the meat and the way it was cooked. Even up on the deck, the steak was seared outside and juicy inside and oh, so tender. First class. The staff are beyond reproach. We had two butlers ... Bryan and Pratish. Both were there, all the time, with help and suggestions. In the bar, we had Luke and Stef. Stef (Stephanie) is a treasure. Why the hell she isn't promoted to teaching others what to do I will never know! In the dining room, Rafael should be a maitre de, no question! There are so many others. They are all a tribute to their boss. The CD Anna is brilliant. What a lovely lady! Always there, always immaculate, always approachable and so often out on shore with the passengers, Brilliant, beautiful lady. The expeditions/excursions, as you would expect, ranged from "oh yeah" to "wow". Generally, though, they were outstanding when you consider they are included. Don't like them? Fine. Pay the extra. All up? Yes; do it again in a heartbeat. The ship, crew and cruise line didn't disappoint.
