Embarkation: fast and easy. Sat on stairs for 30 minutes waiting for Versailles to open at noon. Nice lunch. Had evening meals most of time here. Aqua room quite noisy and staff not as attentive. Shows: fantastic. Professional. No crew or cruisers filling nights. O'Sheehans: you must be seated by hostess if you want to get waited on. Bars: differ in recipes, but they do at home too. Prime times can be busy, but deal with it. Smoke in Gatsby's can get overwhelming. More smoke in here than in casino. Would like to visit with engineer on cfm's. Buffet breakfast: go aft to avoid crowds. Cabins: had balcony on deck 10. Suite above us with a child that was practicing circus performance. 6:00 am each morning jumping off of bed and running, over and over. Once at 2:00 am. Three cabins in a row on ten called and complained daily. Nothing was done. Other cruise lines have utilized our room credits to offset our gratuities. Not so here. Lost room credits and fully billed for tips.

We did our own shore excursions. Haggled with cab drivers until mutually happy.
