Review summary

We sailed the Breakaway, the sister ship shortly after she was launched and it was great. We were disappointed with the many changes to the fees and pricing that have happened since the change of leadership. 

Also noted that the drinks that were poured seemed very weak for some reason. 

Removing smoking from the balcony staterooms was also another disturbing development. And then to make it worse there was only three sections on the ship you could smoke

I thought the drinks were watered down as well. Thought it was just me!

Fire at sea is the biggest hazard that a cruise ship faces, and you're complaining that you can't smoke on your balcony? There have been multiple cases of people smoking in their rooms and on balconies and it has caused hundreds of thousands of dollars in damage to the ship, not to mention it disrupts the following sailings if its serious enough. People can and have DIED because of this. Every cruise line has the rules in place for a reason, and if you think they shouldn't apply to you, then maybe you should not cruise. At least be considerate of others.
