Review summary

Smoking on the ship is terrible. It wafts out of the Casino on the Deck 4 to both stairwells. This was a problem for my wife who is highly allergic to cigarette smoke. The smoking area on Deck 11 is horrible as well. It is right next to the children's swim playground. Currently on our FB Roll Call page it is running 3-1 that it was really bad and should be addressed.

Put some sliding glass doors on each end of the casino. The smoke wafted to both ends of the ship on that Deck!

We did not feel safe at all outside the "Safe Zone" of shops. I would highly recommend only RC Excursions.

Disembarkation

We asked RC for all our cabins to be disembarkation at the same time. NOPE! Had disembarkation numbers from 6 to 31

I’m not a smoker but as long as the smokers are in the areas assigned to them then just avoid that area. After all they paid for their cruise just like the rest of us & they have rights just like we do.

It’s the same issue on almost every cruise line unfortunately.

We like to do the trivia & it was always by the stairwells where the smoke was coming from the casino. Royal Caribbean just needs to get a better venting system and shut the casino doors. Then everyone can be happy! Happy cruising! 😎

Stay off of deck four then.. js. Not trying to be mean, but if your wife is allergic, find other places to go. The ship is big... plenty of space for everyone. Also, a group of 33 is a large group. I’m sure it was hard for them to accommodate such a large group.
