Thanks for the heads up. I’ve heard a similar comment from others about the vibe. That really needs to get addressed. Glad you enjoyed the cruise overall!

We went on that same itinerary and loved it. With the cooler weather in the North Atlantic, there is very little time that the weather is pool weather. I agree the cabins are wonderful
