Review summary

Great cruise with good food and awesome places to see. BUT I felt like the ship is TO large, it became impersonal. Next cruise will be on a "smaller" ship like any Voyager-class or Freedom-class cruise ships.

If one wants the biggest ships, pick RC, no alternatives. Otherwise they are just another good cruise liner.
