disembarked 5/28/2018 in NY 1st the positives, our balcony stateroom was clean & stewart kept it clean thoughout our cruise, the food was good and wait staff were good, The temperature on the majority of the boat was extremely hot my 8 year old (special needs) and I were sick from the temperature on the boat,(not sea sick very calm seas) we had to move our table for dinner 3 times, our stateroom was hot, stuffy and humid our cloths were damp in the closet from the humidity. Trying to sleep we were dripping with sweat. complained to guest services (that don't answer the phone) on deck 3 you must wait on long lines every time. finally 3 days later a lady was sent up to take a temperature reading of 75 degrees, I was told "she would tell someone" that was it never heard back from them. the movie theatre was dirty and gross. Camp ocean for kids seemed like a great idea however they have no way to contact you, Oh wait they do they can give you a cell phone (they won't tell you that) while at guest services trying to get a wine opener for 3 days they told us to ask camp ocean for a cell phone, I went back to camp ocean and asked for a cell phone they refused to give me one. The water park is great in theory, an employee stands on the top entrance and send people down the slide that employee cannot see the exit of the tubes and relies on another employee who always seemed to be busy talking to a 3rd employee who was on break. very slow process. The arcade was ok (small) it was about 90 degrees inside.

The dodgeball, volleyball and basketball tournaments are only for 18+, non for younger kids, all of the attractions are under staffed very long waits sometimes well over an hour. On many occasions a large party travel the elevators together and you must travel/wait for the same elevator ( no other option) so you must wait for a second elevator but only after the 1st elevator already left your deck. We walked to every location on the boat the wait for an elevator was to long.

My son developed some sort of infection in his throat while on board, while I developed some sort of infection on my foot. today is 5/29/2018. I will not sail with them again, ill stick with royal caribbean from now on.
