A little small but views were incredible.

Ship tip

Better stabilizers, too many hot zones on ship need better ac. Fun shops should have more of a selection for personal items. Designated smoke free room for casino, smoke free zone still filled with smoke from row next to you that smoked. Elevator doors were too fast for some of the elderly passengers.

Bus was late, tour was slightly rushed because of this. Not very well organized excursion area. Driver was also our guide. He was very knowledgeable.

Tour guide was very informative and friendly. When shopping out side of port you will be followed around the shops and have your personal space violated. Haggling is a way of life here.

I was on this ship the week before you and didn't have any problem with the A/C. In my cabin I needed to partially close the vents.
