Pace yourself... so many places to eat so much to see. We planned out each day and kept a little backpack to keep what we needed to prevent from going back to the room. GET YETI CUPS

Don't bother with MDR, buffet was ok but try the specialty restaurants (yeah...it's a little more but so worth it)! If you want to play Family Feud, have your whole party there at sign up.

Don’t miss the midship shows, they are great! Don’t miss the military appreciation show, it’s well above the usual and the cruise director does a great job. Get ready to walk A-LOT. A rear of the ship cabin would have been more convenient. Ship shopping is limited and poor selections, very disappointing !!!

Be prepared for a lot of walking. If you have any physical problems, don't hesitate to use a can or seated walker. You enter on deck 6 and eateries are located on decks 6 & 16.

If you had foot issues, like I do (plantar fasciitis), be aware it is a LONG ship and requires a lot of walking. There are however, PLENTY of seats along the way to rest.

Bring comfortable shoes because you are going to do a lot of walking. Also, bring a small gift to give your steward on embarkation day. It goes a long way with the service you receive. Also, TIP AT THE END OF THE CRUISE!

Don’t fret to much about the small things that you don’t care for, enjoy your time with family or friends.

It definitely is not the all night party atmosphere. From the outside it is a great looking ship. The inside is a much more contemporary look. Reminded me of NCL. I can definitely see the type of cruiser they are aiming for. Getting away from the "party" atmosphere.
