I was a little anxious about being on such a large ship (6000+ passengers), but it turned out to be the best cruise we have ever been on. It did not feel any more crowded than on smaller cruise ships. The ship is gorgeous, new, clean, with many amenities and attractions. Well-staffed, good service.
Embarkation
5 out of 5
For such a large number of passengers (6000+), embarkation took much less time than expected, and much less than any other of the cruises we have been on (4). Very smooth and orderly, no waiting around.

Ship Quality
5 out of 5
Spectacular ship. New, clean, no rust or old paint anywhere. Large staterooms and balconies. Central Park area with trees and plants, view of the sky; we walked through the park several times a day to get from one end of the ship to the other. Large sports bar with many TV screens with every football game on on Sunday.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Spacious balcony room compared to other cruises. Very comfortable, clean.
Ship tip
Try to get reservations right after boarding to shows you want to see. And don't be surprised if some shows are canceled due to unforeseen events (e.g., weather).
Unbelievably fast, compared to other cruises, and considering 6000 passengers getting off. Very smooth, efficient process, little wait time. Used facial recognition at customs for passport check.
