September 2007 Eastern Caribbean Cruise
Great cruise. Beautiful ship. Extremely helpful staff. But, I believe that when we get to the point where we are squeezing as many people onto a ship that is equal to a small city, we have or are getting close to crossing the line. At times, it felt that if we weren't carrying our daily ships schedules with us, that we would most likely miss out on most activities. For example, one of the better activities was the nightly Karaoke sessions in the Lotus Room. Problem was that the cruise directors kept the sessions to exactly 45 minutes to one hour. I think we're going to do the "free-style" cruise the next time around.
