Family party of 8, we had 4 adjacent rooms. Our room steward opened the 6th deck balcony doors so we could visit each other without entering the hallway. Room was kept very clean. Plenty of closet space and storage. Dining in Brittania was excellent..treated like royalty. Got special requests for appetizers...very accomodatiing. Trivia was fun. Casino typically smoky and plenty of $$ was donated. Entertainment was superb from Royal Gala to Illuminations. G32 played good music. The 3 Balls were enjoyable, music a bit too old for my taste...but still pleasurable. Kings Court always available for food...and lots to choose. Golden Lion Pub lunches were excellent. Sir Samuel also offered good lunches. Room service meals delivered on time. On board shops were expensive...but to be expected. Port stops were fine...as we elected to do independent excursions. Our worst experience was going to Bridgetown Barbados. Taxi service was horrible. Drivers were pushy and obnoxious. The city was dirty and shops not inviting. A trip away from this area would be much better. We received wonderful photos of the ship from the room steward and our waiter gave us a folder with all of our menus and a special thank you. Had an incredible Canyon Ranch massage by Ty and use of spa all day. It was heaven. Pool, sauna and entire spa facility was top notch.
Positives
Magnificant ship, excellent service, wonderful food, easy embarkation and debarkation out of Brooklyn NY terminal. Lauderettes were free..even the detergent. Nightly entertainment fabulous...singers, dancers, comedians, pianists, juggler, you name it.
Negatives
A tad bit too much smell of smoke...especially around casino and lounges. Had to have cabin toilet cleaned under the rim...it smelled foul and was moldy. Our room steward attended to it immediately...no further issue. Would have liked more space for shampoo, conditioner, etc in shower.
