Review summary

If you smoke and drink this cruise is for you! However, if you find yourself if the small minority of people who don't do either, avoid the lido deck. Deck 11 above the Lido looked to be the designated smoking area but it didn't matter because you couldn't get away from the smoke. There were also people vaping where they knew it wasn't allowed but why not when the staff doesn't care? They only chased off the people sitting by the pool with coffee cups. Forget ever getting a spot on the Serenity deck, although the signs warn that stuff left on a chair unattended for 40 minutes will be removed, that's something the staff doesn't do either. Buffet food was OK, ate in the dining room a couple of times. Anytime dining: get there right at 5:30 otherwise you're in line forever. If anything, eat in the dining room just for the dessert. There were only a couple of desserts in the buffet that had any flavor at all. The amount of people in scooters were astounding, only came across one lady who didn't care who she ran over. She looked mean anyway and probably ate small children for breakfast so we avoided her whenever possible. Entertainment was awful. "Every night feels like opening night", more like every night feels like a dress rehearsal. Getting on the ship was the fastest and smoothest I've ever experienced. Everyone pushes the FTTF but I don't feel like it would have gotten us on any quicker because we basically walked off the airport shuttle at 11 and onto the ship. We were on board and enjoying our lunch by 11:30. By the time we were all allowed into our stateroom our luggage was waiting for us. We only had to go to guest services once when I lost my sign and sale card and the line was super short. We carried our luggage off the ship so we were able to do express, and our cabin was on deck 2 so getting off the ship wasn't bad. We used a porter to get through customs line faster, well worth the tip. We were back at the airport so quickly we had to wait an hour before we could check our bags- we could have booked an earlier flight. Getting FTTF would have been a waste of money on our part so I'm glad I saved our money for more shopping!
