Not for 65 yr olds but probably good for young and families

Review summary

Pros, 1-great helpful staff, 2-good shows, 3-price, 4- restaurants fast seating , 5 - food OK. 6- promt response when I had a problem with TV and toilet.

Cons, 1- 2 hrs on line to check in, 2- only ladders no stairs to enter pool as on the Gem, if you have arthritis forget it. 3- PA informed us to report to area and stand

on line that did not move for 2hrs to go to NCL privet island, gave up if you book something you will see it if not good luck, 4- my room was next to children's

Guppy center from 10am to 8pm the noise from the kids jumping on floor reverberated into my room, so much for piece and quite. 5- Small theater, need reservations, hence full house.

OK BUT YOU SHOULD HAVE YOUR STAFF TASTE THE FOOD BECAUSE MUCH OF IT HAS NO TASTE AND COULD USE SOME HELP?

If you have kids and want to be close to the action right around the corner on same floor is the GUPPIES CENER, if not stay away

Ship tip

If your Handicapped or elderly this ship has 4500 people running to elevators, restaurants, theater, tours, be prepared to run with the crowd. But If your young or have a family with children you will have a great time.

U.S.Male. Although we were forward, we smelled the smoke becasue we were docked for three days in Bermuda--not moving.

Funny, our cabin was on 13 forward and the noise and smoke from the outdoor restaurants reached us on our balcony.

Of course you need reseverations? The ship holds 4000+ people!? And I've cruised this ship before, and if you up your room to a balcony you get away from that noise, I was on deck 13....no noise problems at all

Yes, if you are a mature adult, this ship is not for you.

Esm I am thinking they mean the check in line at the port prior to embarking.

Thanks for sharing your experiences.... What was the 2 hours on-line to checkin part? The longest part of my on-line checkin was me trying find our passports and including that time it was no where near even 15 minutes.

Should have checked location of room before booking. If referring to Breakaway there is an adults only area on deck 16 that has what they refer to as a waterfall area.Shallow water area with waterfalls that is quite nice. And no kids!
