I am a Platinum member and I must say this ship did not meet my expectation. For starters the Cruise director and his side kick thought they were super stars and there only job was to walk around and talk to the ladies and take pictures with them. Both were young 26 year old kids who had no talent.

Next was our room. The A/C would not really cool the room. We called and they came and left a note on our bed and said it was working. I did not sleep with any covers on me. We found out that we could call guest services and ask for a fan. We called and they said they had a limited amount. We never got a fan. Other guest told us there room was warm as well. One lady even said she did not sleep with any thing on to try and stay cool. TMI.

We also like to dance. Each night we went to the dance club in hopes of getting our grove on. Each night they played old Donna Summers tunes that no body wanted to dance to. I watched on Thursday night as everyone was herded to the band stand out side the casino. (they would do that each night for a guess that tune game then hope that people would drift over into the casino to drop some cash) Then those that did not drift into the casino went on down to the dance club. People went in droves into the club and 60 seconds later came out in droves because of the crappy music the DJ was playing. The same old moldy songs every night. 70's disco - Yuk! Wii Dance party was better then what the DJ was playing. They are missing a chance to make some money here. If they played some good dance music, people would dance. As you get the room full and people getting there grove on, they get thirsty and will buy drinks. Cha-Ching.
