This was a sit and veg vacation, not a go, see, and do one! For a ship this size, and for the number of passengers, I must say that even on sea days we were always able to easily find someplace on board that was not crowded or noisy (avoided the pools) and as a non-smoker, the limited smoking areas were nice -- only had to avoid the casino and two other locations on board (though the mid-ships elevator bank was right outside the casino and they often smelled too smoky to get into from deck (8).

Food was mostly a disappointment:

I had non-refundable credits to use so we tried the Steakhouse on the first night for the $35 extra p/person,

I'll never get a cabin with an adjoining door again. You can hear too much noise from the neighboring cabin.Next doors' TV can plainly be heard, and of course it was just our luck the the neighbors had an infant, so we had to listen to a crying baby all hours of the day.Cabin door is really hard to get through, especially as you try to put you card into the socket to turn on the lights.. The doors don't open quite fully enough to make it easier to get in (not much more than 90 degrees) - all's it would take would be one or two more inches.
