It easy to get around. These mega ships are crazy. I look to kick back without a million kids running around screaming

This is my new line. Wont sail any other. Why? The mid size ship. Im 44 and loved it. I dont need carnival onboard. Like to go to the lido and relax all day and enjoy the relaxing atomosphere
