Review summary
It begins with an enormous wait time (2 hours in our case) despite of arriving at the defined check-in time.
Ship is new (built in 2014 by Meyer Warf, Germany), and has nice amenities like water slides, wall climbing. Sunbeds are available everywhere (unless you _require_ one in a specific place, e.g. by the pool).
Food is very good, service is excellent. Lots of specialty restaurants for every taste.
Nice gym but now showers there, so you would need to go back to your stateroom.
Shows have to be booked well in advance and all of them are for a fee.
SPA area is ridiculously expensive ($70 per day or $250 for the whole cruise).
Be sure to get free packages before the cruise (e.g. 250 minutes of Internet, $50 of shore excursion payback, free open bar, etc.
Dispute the "service charge" if you fell like it.
