Review summary
Beautiful ship! A very different experience. More like being at a large resort rather than a cruise ship. From our personal perspective we feel you loose out on a true cruising experience. The ship is wonderful for families with children. The food was generally good however the Rita cantina needs to be totally re done the food was beyond awful. Also I do not like the direction cruising is going with having to pre reserve seating for shows and meals etc.
Overall it was a nice experience just very different from many previous cruises.
