This was a planned birthday cruise for me. I went with my daughter and we had a blast. The ship is BIG and it was our intention to "USE THE STAIRS EVERY DAY AND NOT USE THE ELEVATORS". Welll....we had to change our plans and give in to the elevator, as the ship is massive.
I enjoyed every single thing, and need to go again because I did not yet do the RockClimbingWall, IceSkating or LaserTag.
