No they do not herd 4000 people into the atrium, but if you want a holiday with no crowds and lots of space around you, don’t book a cruise.

I would reconsider a different vacation in the future. Cruise ship bookings are at a all time high and they will be full. The comment on no drawers in the cabin has me befuddled since I have never seen a cabin without drawers, even small ones.

Word of advice, writing half of your review in all caps doesn’t make people want to read it. However it does help determine which ones to skip over as most people put little regard into one. My guess is you had unrealistic expectations and thought it was terrible as a result.
