Review summary

Lots of good things about this ship and cruise. Crew is great; friendly and helpful. Entertainment is fabulous-don't miss any shows. Food was just ok and variety in dining rooms and Windjammer is limited IMHO. Biggest criticisms: RCCL App is useless - don't bother with it. Smoking sections should be at back of ship where you don't have to walk through them to get somewhere else. Really need an outdoor Adult Only pool - Solarium pool doesn't count; it's not really a pool at all.

Ship Quality

I enjoyed the ship and design. But layout could be better. Two things: Smoking areas on pool deck and casino have to be walked thru to get to other places on the ship (yuck!); one of the 4 outdoor pools should be "adult only". The 'adult only' pool is in the Solarium which isn't great for being outside and the pool is only waist deep at best - not really a pool at all.
