Not sure if you're purposely trying to be passive aggressive or not. The extensive arcade aboard the ship was heavily marketed and something my family and particulary my 3 kids looked forward to. It appears to be your inference that "half the games" being broken and taking your money is equivalent to not in "full working order". If you feel that having 50% of the games inoperational should have been common knowledge and widely acceptable to all, you are welcome to that opinion. However, I found this to not have met expectations and fully relevant to the current condition of the ship. Some examples: Air hockey game table was cracked Bowling game took your money, but no bowling balls Basketball shooting game only had 1 deflated ball Guitar Hero 2 player mode did not work, but took your money Another shooting game, screen flickering on and off Several other games also had issues. Guest Services refunded us our money without issue, but we would have gladly spent the money and had the experience with a "nearly full working order" arcade. As for the smoking section surrounding the pool deck, again, this may have been common knowledge to you, but not to my family and probably not to others.

Just sailed Adventure of the Seas Dec 30-Jan 5. There is a very noticeable sewage problem and stench coming from the toilets and along the entirety of Floor 10 if you're so lucky to have your cabin there. Whenever we lifted our toilet seat lid in our junior suite cabin on floor 11, the smell was pretty wretched. The arcade games, half of them were broken and just took your money. My kids were disappointed, but guest services did refund us our money. Beautiful arcade, a shame they can't keep the games operational. The smell of cigarette smoke along the pool deck is nauseating and you will get secondhand smoke by just being at the pool since royal carribean allows smokers to smoke on each side of the pool along the windows. I found this to be extremely surprising. Normally, smokers had to go to the upper decks where nobody was to earn their cancer.
