Terrible, over booked, crowded, missed our excursion because it took too long to get off the boat. Couldn’t get into a pool, food lines and elevator lines were awful.

cruising won't be for you if you think it's over crowded or packed. some schools are out now, so of course ships are going to be packed and full
