Pros: Majestic Views, friendly passengers, not too crowded. Cons: A man sat next to me with bags of stuff all over the floor. Staff told him repeatedly to put the items over head. He spilled his liquor drink all over me and on my stuff. Maybe have staff be a little more aggressive about storing items over head. Tips: Store any extra items over head.
