Review summary

I will never cruise the big ships again. It was like bumper to bumper people at all times. We had to wait to eat at any place. For my timing we had up to 80 minutes to wait. The lines at most restaurants were extremely long that we didn't get to try some of them for that reason. The lines to get back on the ship from excursions were long. The elevators were the worst the entire the cruise had to wait for an elevator all the time. We will continue to cruise but on smaller ships for less waiting.
