Review summary

Here's my overview. Ship was great. Loved the smaller size! Loved that no smoking around the pool! Loved the entertainment especially Jose and Patty and big production shows. Please get rid of the wine bar. No one in it! Needs to be a fun bar of some sort, with TV's for sports, etc., and fun atmosphere. Glad the bar in the atrium had drinks and coffee. Cabin was good, food was good. Really enjoyed the Aqua Restaurant with Ruby and staff.

Loved the Atrium bar was bar for drinks and coffee. Very important.....change Wine Bar back to Five O’clock Somewhere Bar. No one ever in there, wanted somewhere to go with drinks, TV’s and activity. Need this type bar badly.
