Review summary

Nothing really other than being with my family members who went. It was frustrating to have to deal with getting a reservation for Spectra and working on dining details AFTER we got on the ship. It took us about two days to get things settled enough to enjoy ourselves. On previous cruises we just boarded the ship and didn't have to do anything else regarding shows and dining. Also, for the first time on a cruise the ship felt crowded.

Why didn't you book shows and dinners before getting in the ship, as most people do? I'm not sure how a lack of planning g on your part is the fault of the cruiseline...

We booked things before we boarded and had no problems at all ... Do your research before you go!
