Review summary

Cruise director Kevin is top notch. There's something for everyone to do. Attention to service by crew is obvious. If you have no fun, you have a problem. If you want to relax in quiet cabins are well appointed and there are plenty of quiet spaces away from the action. SUGGESTION. As smoking sections are scant, I found it largely irritating that during the entire cruise, people were placing backpacks and bags on chairs in order to reserve them. Example. I was wanting to sit at a chair by the rail overlooking the pool area and since the sun was hitting the smoking section at the time, no one was sitting at that section but there were back packs sitting on a chair. When I say at a chair next to the one with a backpack a lady standing behind in the shade with a small group informed me those seats were reserved and that's why the backpack was there. I answered that we all paid the same and it's not right what they were doing. Please address this issue for us poor smokers.

Service and Staff

They all took great care of us. Randy, our Stateroom Attendant as well as our Main Dining Service Team Raynel, Favor and Mark were outstanding.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Could use at least 1 more smoking area. Smoking Casino kept me from my favorite slot machine as it was marked as non-smoking and a non-smoking passenger complained when I tried lighting up. The non-smoking casino was never as busy. Please be more smoker friendly.

Cabin / Stateroom

Very clean and comfortable.

Ship tip

Pack your patience at elevators. Otherwise get ready for a great experience.

There’s no saving chairs. Grab their crap and throw it on the floor.

Glad you mostly enjoyed your cruise. As a former smoker that still hangs with smokers I would have asked 1 time for them to move their bags. It's the same as hogging pool side loungers. There are no reserved seats. Either use them or let someone else have the seats.
