Review summary

My favorite part of the cruise was the variety of eating/drinking places and the daily paper notices of events. I do have 3 complaints. First, maybe there could be more "smoking areas". Second, when dining in the finer restaurants it would be better if we were presented with salt and pepper shakers instead of packets or small open containers with these items. Third, maybe a few more choices on the television. These things are not inline with tablecloths and napkins. Other than these complaints the trip was wonderful and I would definitely recommend it to my friends.

My husband is an amputee and it was enough room for his electric wheelchair. They were able to accommodate his bathroom needs (shower chair and toilet seat).

Yes TV channels. A vacation doesn't mean i have to be going 24/7. A vacation means relaxing also and I find watching TV relaxing sometimes. As far as the smoking goes. I'm not even gonna get into into it.

No disrespect intended, but those are funny things to complain about. Smoking? Too bad it's not banned completely. And more tv channels? On vacation? Who cares what's on tv lol!

Nope I'm pretty sure I mean more. Don't like it, charter your own boat.

You mean LESS smoking areas. It's disgusting. Unless they want to build a steel cage at water level and and lower people down on a rope to it!

I agree with you on the lack of.smoking areas. I was on again this last September and did have shakers in the restaurants. Could be because of the recent virus outbreak, the opted out for now. TV, couple of channels wouldn't hurt. Glad you enjoyed it though.
