Cabin: Vista Suite

We had to wait 4 hours in hot crowed warehouse before boarding. We had a "guaranteed" stateroom B or better. We got an "A" and thought it would be wonderful. What a JOKE. We got one of the "NEW" rooms on the 7th level the best level. Think again. First, we entered our room and it was under-construction. The toilet did not work for 24 hours; yes it took two days to have a toilet we could use. My wife and I had to go up stairs to the LIDO to use the restroom (community restrooms that did not work all the time). Very nice at night and the morning. Great fun. Paid for a great room and get an outhouse. But here is the best (WORST) part it; the toilet was full of someone's (Construction worker's?) URINE. That's right - 24 hours of smelling someone's URINE. The front desk, managers had NO SOLUTIONS.

A/C worked on and off. During the entire cruise (19 days)

Water leaking from the ceiling 5 to 8 days. Our stateroom was totally flooded on the 10th day of the cruise. Could not use out [aid for room for TWO (2) days.

UNDER CONSTRUCTION. NEED HELP. WATER LEAKING FROM CEILING. Small balcony, no the best for this PRICE.
