YES, definitely do it!

YES, great and comfortable to all areas. Only, minor complaint, elevators much to slow or not enough of them for the number of people using them.

Food was good, but not as readily available 24-hours a day as should be. Also, a separate Ice Cream Bar, charged extravagant prices for their ice creams which in my opinion should have been free to all paid boat passengers. This is why you go on cruises, to enjoy the free food. I had one ice cream bar sandwich but after that nothing for the remainder of the trip as well as did most other travelers. So the ship lost $$$ & people will travel more likely when they don't have this as a totally ridiculous memory, paying for ice cream- yuk!

Bathroom was way too cramped, it definitely is not made for larger people. Also, very poor design of closet location to the bathroom door for ingress & egress, either getting into the closet or another person wanting into the bathroom. One had to give way to the other person. This is very BAD! Sound was satisfactory, where we were. No engine noise or noises from either adjacent rooms to ours.

The shows were very entertaining, the casino slots were way too tight, did not pay out well at all. The staff were friendly but I believe they could have been even more friendly. Smoking on a ship should be restricted to three rooms on each deck, one aft, one centered, and one at the bow. Especially not at any open bar elsewhere on the ship or lounges, or even rooms.

Activities were not well organized when going ashore, too little initial information and especially how to reserve yourself a place for each of the excursions. Think how a person for the first time being asked if he/she wants to eg go snorkeling or travel to some historical ancient ruins and never having done either before but wanting to do both? How can it take place? Cruise lines should plan ahead much better for their passengers.

Yes, if practical. We made new friends and stay in touch via email, phone, or regular mail. And, when possible, visit them.
