The music is very calming, relaxing music - nothing with a strong, overwhelming beat - which I like, but really enjoy the ability to get away to an area to just relax in.
Our first two 4-day sails we never had a problem getting chairs by the pool, but last Nov. it was somewhat difficult in the afternoon, only. So, we just readjusted ourselves & after going in the pool we went up to Deck 10 & layed out. Eventually, some chairs opened up, but we really enjoy laying out on Deck 10, anyway.
