Review summary
I went SOLO and had a wonderful time during my week. There weren't many singles; I did, however, make the best of my cruise because of all the choices on board. And I met a lot of friendly families and couples. Ports of call were great, too.
There are 3 minor tweaks I would suggest to make this a perfect cruise for me:
1. I want cold water in my shower and sink. The ship only puts out very warm and hot, for some strange reason.
2. I prefer lots of music channels on my cabin TV. I like music over TV shows and news. This ship only had one music channel, and it was all disco.
3. I would like self-service laundry where I can do my own washing and drying with coins. This ship does not provide that. It only provides their pricey wash, dry, and press service.

Ship tip
Get a cabin near an elevator. It can be a long walk between elevators! Bring enough clothes for a week and don't plan to wash them, as there are no self-service machines. Deck 14 has a wonderful sun deck that few people know about.

Ft. Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida
