“Our server on board the Cavalier Maxim was very attentive to our dietary restrictive needs. There was live music - a wonderful lady played her harp during dinner and after dinner there was a DJ and guests were invited onto the dance floor. There was a variety of music which included Latin music. This was very much appreciated, but being from the Caribbean it would have been nice to hear some calypso and/or reggae. However, this did not detract us (2 women in our late 60's) from having a good time. I got to practice my French with a couple of amazing passengers.”
