Review summary

POSITIVE: Ship was cleanest I have ever experienced. Staff was great across the board. Food was hit or miss but the good dishes were really excellent. Nightly shows were a cut above anything I have ever seen on a cruise ship. Very large staterooms with large bathrooms and great storage. NEGATIVE: Mega-ship is too big and too crowded when sailing at capacity. Odd design makes this worse, because many decks do not allow access from one end to the other.

Pros: Food above average, nightly shows beyond any cruise ship experience. Staff very attentive.

Cons: Ship is simply too big and too crowded when at capacity.
