It was a great cruise.  I cruised solo but I was not bored for a minute, there is sooo much to see or do.  I did not get of the ship by design.  I took the cruise because of the ship, the same as many of my fellow frequent cruisers did.  It was my 20th cruise and did not think I could be enchanted but I was.  If I had to pick one high point it was the Ice show.  I saw one on the Freedom of the Seas but this one was even better

The organizations was great.  It never felt that there were over 6,000 passengers.  Starting with checking in to getting to my car.  I loved the Central park and the fact that there were umbrellasfor borrowing all over.  It was the ultimate thoughtfulness

The ship had one  drawback: uncomfortable balcony chairs.  I would have prefered chairs with high back and possibly an otoman.  I barely used my balcony because of it.  There were very many other places with comfortable chairs but I bought a balcony cabin to sit, read and enjoy it

I am a frequent cruiser and I can state that the food in the MDR was the best I ever had on any cruise.  The waiter and the assistant waiter made it shine  The entertainment was for most part excellent.  Kudos to the cruise director, her down to earth midwestern roots showed.  The only slightly objectional was the etitude of the room steward, but the assistant steward made up for it.

it had a good itenerary, many interesting stops, even I did not take advantage of it.  The food and service was excellent.

The ship shows her age in spite of the cosmetic upgrades from Destiny to Sunshine.  The public washrooms are so small that it took a gymnastics to get in or out of them and alsothere were rather few publc washrooms for disabled persons.

The smoke in the cassino was unbearable, even when not in use, just passing trough.  I started to gamble the first night for a short time and left never to return.
