Overall I liked the ship, it just needs some repairs. The shore excursion were a lot of fun and I look forward to visiting some of them again in the future. The only real issue I had onboard was the 2 day our room was basically unusable because of the horrible smell of sewage. Other then that our trip was pretty good

Service and Staff
3 out of 5
Service has changed a lot with the auto gratuity charge. It was better when the staff had to go the extra mile for there tips. Now they get it automatically and don’t do much more then they have to.
Ship Quality

Loved the layout of the ship but it needed some repairs.
Cabin / Stateroom
2 out of 5
The cabin is way to small for 4 people. Seemed clean but...There were 2 days that we didn’t even want to go into our room because the smell of sewage was so bad. Found out days later that our nieghbors had the same issues. They complained and got 30% of there trip refunded. I guess sometime it pays to complain.
I love Ft Lauderdale but I don’t think it should be included as one of the ports of call. It’s kinda silly that’s it included as a day of the trip. It’s not like they payed for my hotel room that I rented the night before.
We were in cabin 14208. The sewage smell was constant and not while docked. And yes we did have passports on hand. With the Mobil passport we got though costumes much faster. We were off the ship and in a taxi in about 15 minutes.
There are situations where your passport may be the best alternative. So it's good to have your passport regardless of any electronic conveniences that may be ideal when everything is going flawlessly. Besides, why have all your eggs in one electronic basket:-) We intend to use the CBP app and we keep a copy of our passport accessible through electronic means for backup. That way if we lose the passport we have the electronic backup but if we lose the phone we have our passport. The same concept goes with the Customs forms.
To prevent any misunderstanding, remember a copy of your passport is not the same as your passport but in case your passport is lost it will help you recover your status a lot faster than not having anything :-)
I was deck 10 725. I never smelled any sewage smell. My grandsons loved the kids adventure ocean. Always wanting to go. Only thing I saw needing repairs was one bathroom by dining room on deck 5. All cabins all ships to a degree are small. Sizes are listed to each room when you book the room.
Leeann999, I was on the same time as you, and I also experienced the raw sewage or rotten egg smell, but it was only when we were docked. I was in cabin 3232, if that helps anyone.
