Review summary

The ship was well maintained however one of our rooms "reaked" of smoke! it was brought to the attention of housekeeping and they attempted to deordorize the room. It was some better but still not good. Great activities on board- it is an easy ship to get around on!

Ports of call

Labadee (Cruise Line Private Island)
