Just came home today so writing this while it is fresh in my mind.

Food in regular dining areas was not good and only some of the pay restaurants were really good; the Brazilian Steak House was very good as was the Japanese Hibachi, Italian was not good.

This ship was laid out horribly and there were not enough public spaces. One pool on the entire ship (for 4600 guests. We saw SEVERAL fights break out for chairs around the pool (staff looked but did nothing to resolve anything). I myself got to the pool between 6:30 and 7am to ensure we had chairs and most chairs were gone by 8am. Anyone under 21 can not use the pool and lines for the water slides were over 2 hours long so the teens really had no way to swim or cool off on the ship. The quiet adult area (Spice H20) away from the noise and screaming around the main pool offered no shade and only a water fall feature to cool you off. Guest services told me I could purchase an umbrella if I wanted to after I asked what happened to the 3 umbrellas I saw there 2 days earlier (they even attempted to tell me that guests must have brought the umbrellas with them).

Is tolerable for 2 people we were supposed to be 3 but 3rd could not make it can not imagine this for 3 people. Very small. Hallways are also very very small.
