Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

On the Abyss... I burned my arm on the slide... I believe a method that will cover the arms and legs better should be look into ... Not a good feeling even today my arm has not fully healed ...scabbed over but not healed...its truly my reminder of that slide

Entertainment

4 out of 5

I enjoyed most of the entertainment... Yet the DJ music selections was lacking most cultures and when a song was requested ... The playlist they have was seriously lacking ... making it hard for the majority in my group of 60 people to enjoy the night club scene... So My suggestion is to have the DJ’s to be verse with all cultures music selection and line dance songs ... I understand it can be challenging to the DJ’s to keep up with the music ...but they are a professional DJ’s they have two adjust its a must !!!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

My Room attendant was the most attentive and respectful person I met on the staff ship... He Listened and he engaged ... Mr. B you will truly be remembered and other state room attendants will have to work extremely hard to fill your shoes ... My suite experience was by far the most enjoyable one yet !

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

I am a cigar smoker... and I find it disheartening that the area designated for the Cigar Smokers was outside on the 15th floor in a corner out in the elements ... the older ships has or had a room for Cigar Smokers to relax and engage in great conversations... Someone tell me what’s happening to this concept and why are they eliminating this option yet you want to sell cigars on the ship ??? Please someone tell me something

Disembarkation

3 out of 5

So how one of our luggage got separated from the group... took some time searching the floor but it was found... Thank God ... I suggest we come up with a more preventive method to keep luggage in tow with the group it was assigned to
