Just a word to those who think it's ok to vape inside......please don't! You're not supposed to and I don't want to be next to you when you do. It's annoying. Take your habit to the place designated for you.

Things flowed well, no issues here.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
3 out of 5
There are many places to eat so you should be able to find something to satisfy you. We've cruised a lot and this was the first time where we barely found things we liked in the main dinner room for dinner. Since the recent menu change, it seemed to go the wrong way. We talked to many people who thought the same. So many guests said they didn't see things they liked on the menu and went other places for dinner. I think on a 8 day cruise, we had dinner in the main restaurant 2 or 3 times. Where cruises before it was every night. Certain times the other smaller eating places would have long lines so just be patient. We would have liked to try Emeril's but we didn't want to keep spending money nonstop so we didn't eat there. I heard some bars would good some weren't so if you find a good one, maybe stick to that one.
Onboard Activities
5 out of 5
We enjoyed everything offered. Even with bad weather, the staff moved things to around to accommodate and still put on a great week. One such a big ship though, I would have thought that the main theater would have been bigger. Would be nice to have bingo somewhere other than the center stage. So many people playing that they were sitting on the floor.
Entertainment
4 out of 5
Show's were good. Our top two were the Love and Marriage Show and Family Feud. Sometimes the comedy was a hit and miss. We really don't think a comedian has to swear so much to be funny so it can be annoying if that's all they do.
Children's Programs
We left our kids at home.
Service and Staff

Everyone was extremely nice.
Ship Quality

Very clean. The crew was constantly cleaning and wiping things down.
Cabin / Stateroom
3 out of 5
So small. We were shocked when we walked in on how small it was. I literally stood in the bathroom and I put my arms out (my "wing span") and had only 2 inches extra on each side of my finger tips. That was from the toilet wall to the far shower wall. That's how big, or should I say SMALL the bathroom was. The pathway between the bed and the wall was maybe 14 inches. We had to cram the suitcase through just to get it over to the couch. It was a shame that the Havana pool and bar was on the other side of the ship and not at the end. The size of the TV was great but seriously, they need to upgrade on the channels and movies they offer.
Ship tip
Have patience. Specially with the elevators. Sometimes you have to wait a while and they are very small. Like half the size of the other ships and there is no a/c in them so everyone gets very hot! I'm not sure who thought this was all a good idea.
We like staying here but the chair lift and water activities could be a little less costly. Plus, be careful in the water with little kids and if you yourself don't know how to swim. There are quick drop-offs in the general area to where I saw 3 different people over the course of an hour need others in the area to quickly go and rescue the person going under. Very scary! The area is very pretty.
The port shopping/pool area is neat but is very packed and the locals are at each store entrance trying to hand you samples, and saying no three times still doesn't work.
Quick and easy. I'm not sure about those later getting off but we were in the beginning group. We were all getting off like 45 minutes early then expected. .
