Review summary

From start to finish, the cruise, the crew, the activities, the ports of call were all excellent. However, there were a few flaws, but nothing that took away from the overall cruise. First,the cabin bathrooms are too small. You have to maneuver to get to the toilet. I am not sure how some of the overweight passengers were able to accomplish this. Second, the dress code for the main dining room (versaille) were not enforced. There were passengers who opted to show up for dinner in the main dining room in shorts, flip-flops, tank tops, and wife beaters. Even though these passengers were violating the dress code, they were still admitted. Third, there was some confusion in ship debarkation at one port where we had to tender because some tenders went to the pier while others went from the ship directly to the excursion sites. there was poor communication and some passengers ended up on the wrong tender  

and then special arrangements had to be made to get them to the correct location. Aside from these 3 minor glitches, the cruise was excellent.

The cabin was excellent, well maintained, and very clean. The bathroom, however, for our cabin was too small. Even the comedian from the ships entertainment put it in his routine.

Yeah, I'll definitely have to check on this dress code thing.

Aren't shorts acceptable ? Isn't that what freestyle is?
