Review summary

This vacation had a rough start. After a 9 hour flight we were told the buses were not there and would be their ASAP. Your ASAP was 2 hours later. When we checked in at the dock we were given a room - 3371 on the Promenade deck (partically blocked). We requested 2nd deck with a window. Promenade deck is noisy, especially with the water running one level up. Never again! The front desk's response was nothing we can do, it's a full ship. Nice attitude after almost 14 hours on the road.
