Review summary

We observed crew constantly cleaning the ship and that was nice to see especially in light of the Norovirus outbreaks. The ship was well-maintained and elegant. The theater was fantastic. We did not care for the smoking in the casino so we avoided those areas...it's actually scary that smoking is permitted since it takes just one careless person to start a fire. Our dinner dining attendants were fabulous and our cabin attendant was awesome as well!

The "Blow hole" was exciting and the bus trip to it was very enlightening.
