Service and Staff

Everybody pleasantly smiles/greeted us without appearing as if it were a chore

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Areas adjoining and including "permitted" smoking areas (casino cigar room and promenade deck) unpleasantly taint the freshness of the ship. Sooner the ship is smoke (and e cig) free - the better. Otherwise the rest of the ship was great
