Review summary

This was a gift for our 30th anniversary and for both our first cruise. The ship, staff and food were excellent. Plenty of activities and space to relax. We both would love to spend time in the casino but that was impossible due to the stinch of the smoke. WHY can't that area be smoke free as the rest of the ship?? Why patronize a few at the expense of the majority??

Pool overcrowded and casino was extremely smoked up. Love to pay slots but could not breathe even to walk through the room. Surely something could be done.

Ship Quality

Something has to be done about the casino area. There are more non smokers than smokers and that area is being ruined by a few.

Congrats on 30 years, and welcome to the wonderful world of cruising. Hopefully, you will enjoy more cruise vacations in the future. I totally agree with your comment about smoking in the casino. We also avoid the side of the pool deck that allows smoking because it stinks so much.
