Review summary

Ship was nice. Wait staff was fabulous. The pool decks were way too crowded. There were not nearly enough deck chairs. People were very territorial over chairs and there were many arguments. The photography was not nearly as good as Carnival. Dress codes were not enforced which ruined the mood in the dining room.

Everyone was great EXCEPT for the staff on the pool decks. They did not enforce the no saving chairs policy & often closed all of the whirlpools so that there were none available.
