Review summary

Room 6640 had some issues with ac not very cold, also had some issues with balcony as there was water on the ground and mostly unusable throughout cruise. Neighbors smoked pot and could smell it in our room, hard to believe —. Won’t do another school vacation trip too many kids not being supervised

Appreciate your detailed feedback. It’s becoming harder to determine when kids are out of school. We try to avoid Spring Break (mid-March to mid-April?), Thanksgiving and Christmas. But we are seeing more children during other times than before. Sorry you had that issue.
