Review summary

Wished I knew about winter break. There were many kids running amuck. Knocking on doors, running through hallways and playing with the elevators. This ship's elevators are small and crowded. We used the stairs to climb 8 or more decks routinely because of the wait for the elevators. Loved the complimentary restaurant choices. Beautiful ship. Great comedy shows. Lots of activities and lots of fun We enjoyed the soda package. Able to serve ourselves for soda is easy and quick

Great comedians. Production shows were boring and repetitive

Steward service is not like before. Only one visit per day. Seemed to have too many cabins to clean

Crowded and tight corridors. The layout was confusing

Cabin / Stateroom

We smelled cigarette smoke whenever the ship was in Port. The smoking area is below the balcony

Ship tip

Be careful of your cabin location. Be cautious of tiered balconies and the location of smoking areas
