Review summary

I did not appreciate the banging and throwing of equipment etc...in the hallways in the morning. The staff has work to do, but could do it without all the noise. When on vacation I would like to rest, and wake up when I want to when not going to a port. Between the constant tapping/clanging taken place in the area behind my room, and the constants banging and throwing in the hallway it was out of control and needs to be addressed.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Too many lunch locations closing early. When you return from an excursion, there was only a couple options available and the lines were rediculous. Food in the evening limited as well. I don't want the same thing at night I had no choice but to eat when returning from an excursion.

Beautiful place, but won't go back. Excusion Beach location didn't return correct change twice. Then I heard a waiter directed to charge cruise people more for food / drinks. They won't see me on that island again.

Sounds like you had some service area behind your room. When booking a room, try and look at the deck plan and look for cabins that don't have white colored areas around your room as these are likely crew passageways, elevators, or areas where they store their cleaning supplies. Personally I also avoid cabins on the deck below the pool deck (lots of noise in the morning as they put the chairs out) or the decks above and below the entertainment areas where shops, restaurants, bars and lounges are located.

I like to look for a room where there's not secret passages and closets close, that way I don't get bothered.
