Thoroughly enjoyed the race dry slide, lots of fun. Also enjoyed playing miniature golf and shuffleboard.

Entertainment

2 out of 5
Loved Donna Summer musical, Noise Boys was cancelled due to illness. Was unable to attend comedy shows as they were booked solid and I didn't even get the option to try to reserve a show upon embarkation. Absolutely loved Familiar Strangers who performed in the Penrose Atrium.

Service and Staff

Everyone I encountered was friendly

Ship Quality

2 out of 5
Venues are too small. Ceiling was low at Hasuki, had to make sure I didn't hit my head on light fixture and I am only 5 feet, 5 inches tall. Consider making the entrance door for the Observation Lounge automatic for easy access for those with disabilities. If you're going to ask individuals to use a paper towel to open the bathroom door, please consider having a trash can outside the door instead of inside by the door so paper towels aren't dropped on the floor.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Stayed in the studio cabin. Plenty of room, loved the bathroom.
