Review summary

Food and drinks were excellent even the buffet food.

The Casinos should have a walled section for either Smoking or Non-smoking.  Continuing to cruise with only open smoking casinos will will a show-stopper for me.

Liked the closets and total cabin set-up better than I thought I would since our other cruise had a balcony.

Some passengers are allergic to smoke.  My eyes tear up and my nose starts to run if I spend more than a minute or two in a smoky casino.  I, too, wish that if ships can't afford to make casinos less smoky, they need to provide a way around the casino without going up or down a deck which is time consuming when one is late getting out from dinner & trying to catch a show before it starts..

Maybe there aren't enough people who don't care too much about smoke--among ALL those people who like gambling?‚‚ 

 

I like reading your responses to these reviews because you call it like it is.
