Onboard Activities

1 out of 5

Main pool had a unruly man that lifeguards had to keep dealing with, he was throwing his small son in shoulder to shoulder crowded pool, yelling at his son and then got burger and fries and started eating setting on poolside. He gave lifeguards hard time every time they had to come to him. He was so unruly I think after 4 times of breaking rules he should have been banned so everyone else could enjoy.

Entertainment

Seems there is very little music and musicians now. I understand Covid caused employee shortages however if no bands available just at least play canned music so everyone can dance and have a good time.

Children's Programs

No children
