Review summary
My extended family of 14 did this cruise over Christmas. We had been on a Carnival cruise a few years ago over Christmas and had been disappointed then at the lack of anything "Christmas-y" beyond a Santa visit on the afternoon of Christmas Eve. This time, there was a very nice midnight service with hymns and the Bible account read. Thanks, Carnival. The ship itself is beautiful. I've never cruised on Royal Caribbean, but that's the only line my sister uses. She said RC ships have a big central area that she really missed on this ship, but as I said, I didn't notice it as something missing. We actually never had trouble getting lounge chairs at the pool. Likewise, we could always find places for quiet reading on a deck or an outside table to play cards on. The food was great--some of the best we've ever had on a cruise. The staff was wonderful. We tend to cruise on Princess or Celebrity as all of our kids are grown and we aren't interested in being around a lot of children, but if you're considering this ship for a family cruise, I'd highly recommend it.Embarkation
