Review summary
We enjoyed most aspects of our cruise. The staff was excellent, hard-working, and exemplary. Our only negative marks would be due to the level of cigarette smoke in the vicinity of the casino and the smoking section on Deck 15. Non-smokers should not be subjected to second-hand smoke. Smoking should be banned aboard the cruise ship as it becomes a public place and presents a health hazard to those who have chosen not to smoke. Also, the Windjammer buffet was quite busy and chaotic. We recognize this is a byproduct of the buffet experience and not a fault of the cruise team. We did find it stressful, however. As a note to other passengers, please try to be patient with your fellow passengers and stop acting like entitled children. When there are 6,000 other people also trying to get to the same places, the same food, etc, there is going to be a need for patience and courtesy. We were treated incredibly rudely by many other passengers and may not cruise again because of this experience.Embarkation

Ship tip
Be patient on embarkation and debark days. It gets pretty crazy and people get stressed out and entitled.
