Ship Quality

5 out of 5

I thought the ship’s design was a lay-off. I didn’t like that the (smoking) casino was on both sides of the walkway you had to use to navigate the ship. The ship was very clean.

We got there at 1:00 pm and most everything closed at 5:00 or 5:30. Didn’t get to fully experience the island.
