Review summary
I would definitely recommend this cruise for families with kids of all ages and for those without kids. The ship has a lot of people of on it but you really won't notice except for a couple of occasions 1) lots of people in the Promenade for 70's night) 2) waiting on the surfing simulator and 3) breakfast at WIndjammer the first morning.
The ship is very well laid out with lots of activities and a very friendly crew. The internet is pretty fast and we used it primarily to communicate and the kids for surfing on their devices (by us and out in the sun). The food is pretty good, at least as good as you are going to get when cooking for that many people, and we heard someone talking about the Specialty dining but that was not for us. Expect at least 1.5 hours for dinner in the main dining areas but we found out we could get food pretty fast if we were late for a show.
The back of the boat on the 5th floor is very relaxing as well as the Solarium (much hotter).

Ship tip
Book shows and excursions online early along with the waivers if you are going to be active. Embark either as early as possible or as late as possible. We got there around 2 PM and were at the back of a very long line but if we had gotten there closer to 3 there was no line.
