Review summary

This was the right size ship for our trip. Food was very good & plentiful. You can not go hungry. Staff was friendly & courteous. The things I saw that need attention are: a way to avoid people falling around the pools, floors get very slippery, and better monitoring of decks 9&10. The “brat packs” seem to gather together and try to take over the ping pong & corn hole tables. They get loud & rowdy hogging the games, to the point of throwing the bean bags everywhere except on the boards until they break them. This doesn’t help anyone else waiting to play.

I’m glad you gave 5 stars even though you had a few issues. The overall experience is better than a few problems. The pool area is slippery. I wish they had games in the adult only area. I love playing games, but it is hard when you can’t get to a game for hours and when the gang of kids are playing wrong and wrecking the equipment. That would be better, but it would be better than very good.

I totally agree about it being very slippery around the pools. Barefoot or not, it's extremely slippery.
