Smokers RULED

This ship seems to be built for the smokers, as the main pool/spa area and bars are right beside the open smoke hut and at times there were 12-15 in their smoking and ...HELLO that smoke goes over to the pool/spa and bar. I then found the H2O bar with a small water area and chairs and thought oh great because I am very sensitive to smells and smoke being the worst. Well, I just get myself set and wouldn't you know it, I smell smoke again and was told they allow smoking on the far side of the bar and with the way the breeze was it was going all over the deck of sunbathers. If you enjoy eating smoke then go to the casino and atrium levels, it is so awful in there due to the fact that the smoking casino is not enclosed and the smells goes up a few decks and down. I had to avoid that area at all costs, which is hard because Deck 6 is the main one with all the service counters and a large showtime area. I would wait in another area if my friends went that way, I would take the elevator to avoid it.

Not a fan of the freestyle dining, one thing I enjoyed about cruising is the dinner settings and getting to know the your main wait staff you had every night. That did not happen and the staff, food were mediocre compared to other cruise lines I have been on.

Mid-Ship Balcony Stateroom

Cabin was great, our cabin steward Christian did a great job and was very pleasant and social and accommodated our needs as requested.
