It was fun, but I have learned that a bigger ship does not mean a better cruise. More people seem to sometimes make for longer lines, less to do, and staff too busy.

Shipping loading was moving ahead of schedule and smooth
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
We did the main dining room every night and food was good. I remember being more impressed though on previous cruises. Service was some great and other not as much depending on where we sat each night.
Onboard Activities
3 out of 5
The 2 things I loved most about a previous cruise I was denied here almost the full 8 days, on deck movies and shuffleboard. There was constantly either diving show practice or shows and this caused the other things to be canceled. Disappointed! :(
Entertainment
4 out of 5
We didn't see a lot of theater shows, but again I think this category also applies to their lack of outdoor movies this trip
Children's Programs
5 out of 5
We had at least one of our 3 kids who could not get enough of Adventure Oceans. The other 2 liked being with mom & dad more occasionally but seemed like when the did go to kids clube they came back saying they had lots of fun.
Service and Staff
4 out of 5
Some were great, but often seems less interested in helping as they were often too busy

Ship tip
You need to plan early to do most things here. If you are slow there will usually be a big line. Windjammer buffet lines were often long.
port area with gift shops was pretty poor here. We didn't feel like paying the $7/each for all 5 family members to see if the area further away was nicer so returned to the ship pretty quickly here.
