Review summary
We took this cruise as a large family travelling together with 4 balcony cabins next to each other. We opened the partitions between the balconies to easily go between the rooms. During Christmas the boat did not seem crowded. There were enough lounge chairs to avoid the usual stress of reserving/getting them early in the morning. The staff in the breakfast/dinner restaurant was terrific and the food was pretty good. We enjoyed the shows and the children enjoyed ping-pong and swimming. The destination islands and excursions were not too exciting for a family that lives in Florida and vacations in the Caribbean frequently, but it's also enjoyable to stay aboard ship for the day while the others are on-shore. The ship was beautifully decorated for Christmas, but it didn't quite have the same feel as being at home. It sure was nice not to have to cook for a large crowd, though! i would recommend this cruise to others.
