Review summary

Even with a full ship due to the million dollar slot tournament, I did not feel it was crowded except for the elevators, which seem to be smaller than most trying to get a couple of the shows in the mid ship but the seating is hard to get. I had a great time.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Fast arrived at scheduled time 11:30 and went well for number of passengers Traveling with group and platinum member and cabin not ready until 1500 Like new muster drill procedures
