Review summary

This was our 5th cruise on one of the biggest ships we've been on !

Ultra smooth sailing, hardly knew we were cruising most of the time .

Lots to do especially if it involves drinking! Lots of bars and lounges .

Craft beer drinkers have there own place on this ship , its called the District

Brewhouse, what a great place to try something new and different.

Food ranged from fantastic to blah, many up charge restaurants to try onboard .

There were over 4000 people of every age taking this cruise, infants to centenarians . Surprisingly ,it did not seem crowded until you took the elevator.they were jammed up with people most of the time .

I would call this ship a family cruising ship but they do cater to singles who can have there own singles sleeping cabins and gathering area ,for singles only .

Whole top part of the ship will keep those kids and parents happy with waterslides.

pools and many other outdoor activities .

Saw all the shows and entertainers on the first week, everything was a repeat on the second week , won't be doing what they call a back to back cruise again !

Wound up having to get off the ship and go to customs after the 8th day because we went back into the US ! What a pain in the ass that was ! Instead of letting people that were doing a back to back cruise stay on the ship , they made everyone get off the ship !

All in all ,we had a good time, but don't recommend back to back cruises that return to the states in the middle of your trip to drop off and pick up more people !
