During travel days, the speakers on the Lido deck only seemed to cover the middle (pool) area of the boat. Many guests are older (like me) and need a little more help hearing. When announcements or events took place on the deck, it was hard to hear under the covered areas (even though I noticed unused speakers in those areas).

Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
Hamburger station, Pizza station and Pig and Anchor were standouts!
Onboard Activities
3 out of 5
Lots of things to do, but only participated in a few - enjoyed the pool time too much!
Entertainment
4 out of 5
The band on Deck 5 were awesome. Even with the different band compositions (3 person set up to a 7/8 band with a horn section)
Children's Programs
I did not bring children with me
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
As always, the service personnel were terrific! It seemed as though each one of the more than 1,000 personnel knew us individually, by name. Of particular note was a server named Aleksandra. Her attitude, service and quick responses to our needs was one of the highlights of our cruise. With half of an 8-day cruise sailing to destinations, we had a lot of contact with Aleksandra. Time for a bonus for her! I also wanted to point out that Wei, our Cabin Steward was awesome. Always present, always tending to our needs and always professional.
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
No matter where you turned, someone was making sure the ship was cleaned - from clearing water from the deck, to vigilant on spills, to keeping the tables/food areas spotless.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Perfect size, even though we did not spend much time there. Was surprised to see the two bathrooms. I am not sure if the second bath (with tub) is worth it. That space could have been used for something else. Perhaps a mini-bar like hotels use?

The Kukoo Kunuku bus trip was excellent - probably because we had an entertaining bus driver/tour guide. The expression "Aruba Roller Coaster" will stay with my group for a long time, as the bus completed three or four trips around a traffic circle with passengers shaking their maracas and yelling "Aruba Roller Coaster".
