Review summary
The boat was beautiful, the crew was wonderful, the food was good but not great, rooms where comfortable, the itinerary was ok. So what was the problem? Way too many kids that I considered the cruise "Disney Lite!" Parents brought their children into "adult only" entertainment, very seldom watched them believing others would babysit, and let them overtake even the hot tubs. The adult pool was the size of a two car garage and unless you grab a spot poolside by 7AM you were out of luck. The kiddie pool was just around the corner from both the adult pool and the buffet...a real zoo at times. Smokers were just plain rude and the crew never bothered to enforce the non-smoking areas including the decks, cocktail areas and the casino. Your clothes smelled like smoke no matter where you went. Not a very good cruising experience to say the least!
