Review summary
We had a great time, so many activities all around the ship, games, and shows, the Cruise Director and his staff work tirelessly to make sure everyone has a great experience. The food is plentiful, the shows are great and sometime interactive, there is always something going on. If you are a coffee drinker, the ship has a Java Blue shop where you can get a latte or an "Irish" coffee. The only issues I had was, the Casino is in the middle of the ship on the 5th floor, where people are allowed to smoke, which makes the main open areas between the 3-5 floors smell smoky and further, you have to go through the Casino to get to the Limelight Lounge, the Alchemy Bar or the Red Frog Pub where they have a lot of the activities. If you navigate the ship you can figure out ways to avoid going through the Casino as much as possible (i'm asthmatic and the smoke triggers my asthma), however the Casino is the most direct way and sometime the only way to access the Limelight Lounge. Again overall we had an amazing cruise and are in the process of planning the next.Embarkation

Ship tip
Pack an extra bag or two for all of your souvenirs. Also, if you like to use the pools and don't like the crowd, in the evening around dinnertime, the pools are much emptier. If you want to catch some sun, get to the Lido deck as early as possible because the chairs get taken up quickly. Just enjoy!
