Review summary

The ship is a big beautiful smooth sailing five star hotel with problems! There are not enough elevators on board making passengers wait a long time only to find the one that finally arrives packed with people. The outside pool area is too small making it impossible to find an open deck lounge, and if your luckily enough to find one there is no room between them forcing you to crawl onto them! More than half the pool area is devoted to children making it noisy and uncomfortable to relax.

On the other side the ship is exceptionally smooth sailing and very beautiful appointed with all the latest interactive features you could want.

if you space the loungers, you will have even less on board and have more trouble. there are plenty of lifts, forward and aft but people are impatience to wait or lazy not tobtake the stairs.

Agree to, but think they won't do anything. Shame though

I agree with your comments regarding the sun beds being too close together, maybe RCI will do something constructive like leaving spaces between????????
