Difficult finding enough activities to not be bored. Went to tons of TRIVIA GAMES daily, more than 9, just to have something to do. CONNECT FOUR board games, shuffleboard, foosball, bean bag toss offered in team competition (I can do those at home, free).
Getting to the main Ocean lounge, deck 5, where all the ‘action’ was, required traipsing thru a smoke-laden Casino in the middle of walkway path! No other way to get there! Pure dumb design. Other cruise lines do NOT allow smoking on enclosed rooms, as the smoke doesn’t ‘know’ it should stay in one room, it billows out to any opening found. Highly allergic, face swells like a red strawberry, and need to be drugged on anti-histamines to breathe. (Brought Epi-pens in case, sure glad!)
Food, mediocre in Lido. Not enough fresh fruits. I do not like honeydew, cantaloupe, pineapple, and watermelon chopped into one small bowl. Should be large amounts of each, in separate BIG bowls, so flavors don’t mix, nor marinate. Many conversations with other passengers said same thing. We are the healthy group who tries to eat sensibly.
Handicap cabin.... Filthy.... Experience described in detail above.... Black mold on floor, walls, shower..... Carpet NOT vacuumed.... This is how it was the day I arrived
Wheelchair drop off in designated area...Then my Driver took the truck to parking garage.... I thought the porter would help push me and manage my carry-on bags, which he did NOT.... Said I needed to follow this sidewalk to the next building, alone! ... I kept dropping my backpack (was in a lil racing chair, no handles to hang bag on, it would have flipped me over backwards)... I should mention it was also cold, windy, and raining.... Was terrible mess.....Next cruise is leaving from another port!
Zipline! ... CLEAN..... Many spots to sit in free loungers, many bars, lovely plants.... Can't get to beach tho, without a taxi, 15 min away... FREE passport stamp in information area.... I would visit again on another cruise, yes.
CLEAN! .... Big beach right there.... Too many tourist shoppes of things I can buy in Florida (Gucci cologne, Barcardi rums, Sunglasses, and more).... Handicap accessible restrooms, yes, very large.... Pretty landscape, plants, paved walkways
