Review summary

Fun , crowded , but OK . I personally do not like the processes ; waiting to get on , waiting to get off at all ports, waiting to dine ,waiting for drinks (not enough servers outside of MDR ), a big chunk of my vacation time waisted . JUST my personal opinion. Smoking should not be allowed . You cannot bring a clothing iron due to safety but lighters and cigs allowed? Irritated my nose in the casino and surrounding areas . Would have gambled but I did not want stay long and have my clothes smell like an ash try .

Appreciate your summary. Spring Break usually brings additional challenges. Sorry this cruise didn’t meet your expectations. Hope you find a cruise where the is no smoking (I understand there are some).
