Sail Date: Nov 2017
Cabin: Large Interior Stateroom

As the previous poster mentioned, the ship just came out of dry dock prior to the Novemebr 4 cruise to the Caribbean. There were perhaps 1000 passengers on board and probably 50+ contractors continuing the work not done in dry dock. The Sea View pool area was closed for the first 2 days while the workers finished caulking the boards and work on the hot tubs. Multiple leaks were seen throughout the ship especially in the Lido area. There was no hot water in out cabin for most of the cruise. Hot showers were available to us in the pool area or the spa. Neither appeals to me but my husband did shower primarily in the spa bathrooms. I toughed it out in the cabin shower.

Air conditioning was intermittent at night. Paint smell chased us out of our cabin on 3 occasions. I never did find the source but it overwhelmed many cabins and the corridors on the Main deck.

As always the crew were outstanding especially in the face of many unhappy passengers.
