I had a great time on my cruise and love the ship as well as Freestyle cruising. For me the only problem was that there is not a single bar in the inside of the ship where I could have an after dinner drink and a cigarette. For me, this is more important than smoking in my cabin or anywhere outside as long as there are some smoking decks.

I don't mind smoke even when I am eating but on some parts of the 5th and 7th floor you would get the stench of put out cigarettes. For me it would have made much more sense to put the casino on the 7th floor, since smoke tends to go up instead of putting it o the 6th floor with openings to the 5th and 7th floor, and I would not put restaurants, like the noodle bar next to the casino where everyone smokes.

The cigar room is a small enclosed room without a bar and with a poor extraction system and poor ventilation. Why not put a proper cigar bar next to the casino with a good extraction system and maybe the option to open windows to the outside instead of the big players tables where no one goes.

Cabin Review

Deluxe Owner's Suite

Cabin H2

I had never seen such a wonderful cabin, dinning room, living room, balcony, 3 free bottles of liquor for your bar plus an espresso and cappuccino machine from Lavazza. Huge bathroom and walk in closet. I wasn't too sure from the floor plans, but the design is a lot better than the one on the floor plans. The only downside is that most of the balcony is viewable from the top deck at the pool, so you don't get as much privacy as you may want.
