I used the fitness center several times without any issues.

Entertainment

Tim Kamiski's show was thesame tired show from last year. I was telling my family the punchline before he was two lines into the joke. Wizzard of Oz and the hands are old. the only thing new were his imitation of the Captain.

No children

Disembarkation

1 out of 5
Suggestion: Disembark by muster stations with luggage tags. this will have everyone out of the staterooms by 8:30 and will keep the Atrium area clear.Disembarkation will be made at the musterstations only, and not over the ships system, so noone sneeks through. Not enough porters avable in the termanal. Pay the hour overtime to help us get home (45 min. to get bags through.)
