My biggest pet peeve is the smoking areas anywhere on a cruise ship, but especially the casino. I loved the Getaway but hated how the smoke in their casino traveled all through decks 6, 7, and 8! It was horrible! I’m a big proponent to making cruise ships totally smoke free. As for no snack food, we felt there was a lot. We would stop into O’Sheehans for spinach/avocado dip and chips and a beer, or what about all the late night snacks in the buffet from 9:30-11:30pm? So good! Even made to order crepes! My cabin was in a quiet area on deck 5. I usually look at deck plans when choosing my cabin. We usually turn in for the night around 11-12, so we are not all night party people and like a quiet cabin.
