Review summary

I am not a planner...therefore, was very disappointed in cruise. Standing in a line EVERYDAY FOR EVERYTHING is not my idea of a fun trip. Main restaurants are understaffed. Wait approximately 2 hrs for every meal. When you could get into a show, they were very good.

too many small venues...6000 people on board and you only have a room for the comedian that seats 200. really?

We agree with you, there's too many people. If we enjoyed standing in line and eating cafeteria food we'd have gone to Disney.

I totally agree. The cruise was nice but if we wanted to stand In line and eat cafeteria food we'd have just gone to Disney. On another note, their smaller ships are a lot more fun. We love the Majesty, better service and food.
