Ship tip

Study the layout, spent way too much time figuring out the layout. Also the smoking in the casino was a turn off. All the bars and entertainment we enjoyed was on the same floor. It smelled horrible.

😳 Yes Covid is definitely still a real threat aboard any cruise ship. I will have to be extra cautious on my upcoming freedom cruise. Thanks for the info and hope you are better soon.
