We didn't spend much time at the pool. I was really disappointed in the bartenders and drinks there. There were plenty of chairs for lounging

This was a real mess. I know the ship had difficulty clearing customs which delayed everything. The line to walk off was so, so long. Also our ship card did not work in the morning to get coffee. We had to go to guest services to reactivate the card. I've never experienced this before
