My expectations of the actual cruise were different having been on previous cruises with a different cruise line;however my goal was to just get away and have a good time and that goal was acheived. Someone who has not had the cruise experiences that I have would most likely view this experience as superior. The staff members that I talked to seemed to have low employee morale and weren't informative when questions were asked, havng been used to other cruises where the staff goes above and beyond for the customer. There was not the perfectionism quality that I had expected in terms of service. Again, having been on other cruises, the food was not well presented and the food experience was not the same as on other cruises. I did appreciate the casualness of the entire cruise. This cruise seems ideal for families and groups and for people who just want to get away, but was not the "ideal" cruise experience as one might have dreamed about as in the Titantic. I loved the water slide and minature golf components. I hardly experienced any real extended wait time as I had anticipated. However, having those two items took away the number of pools and hottubs that could be offered on the ship. The one (and only) pool was always very crowded and not very usable. Because there were so many kids, there were always plenty of lounge chairs available on the deck. You didn't feel like you had to camp out early in the mornng to obtain the lounge chair. The cruise seemed highly affordable and would be perfect for someone who wanted to have the cruise experience. The shore excurtions were fun.
