Review summary

We enjoyed both the food and entertainment.  The service was perfect and the staff were always friendly and happy!  The rooms were nice and the bathroom was the largest, and nicest of any ship we,ve been on.  It is very convenient for us to leave from NYC. Our only negative is that we couldn't use our balcony quite a few times due to the cigarette smoke from adjacent cabins. Also we were unable to enjoy the area where you sit and listen to the music due to the smoking drifting into the room from the casino. We know of other cruise lines that prohibit smoking on the balcony and are considering sailing with them in the future.

They take you out to sea. You go under a big helmet which feeds air. You drop down about 15 ft, which is supervised by scuba divers. You then ride it around like a scooter for about 25min. You can go left or right, fast or slow. I took a video which I can send to your e mail if you like! Afterward they give you about 30 min to snorkel. They supply the mask fins etc
