We were hesitant to sail on a huge ship. We have mostly avoided them. But we were surprised at the lack of crowds and spaciousness of the public areas.

Ship tip

Get your dining arrangements done before you board. Many venues sold out and lots of waiting if you do not have a reservation. My time dining worked great.
