Be prepared for international travelers. If you are from the States, you’ll expect common courtesy like waiting in line and other US politeness standards. Some cultures just go! So, don’t be surprised if people just want to move in front of you. The staff does a good job of keep people in line.

If you’re looking for a casual place to eat, go to the Solarium Bistro. There’s much less lines there and it’s a way calmer vibe than the Windjammer.

We liked all the action of our Boardwalk-facing balcony room. But it's not for everyone. If you want more peace and quiet, I would think the Central Park-facing balcony would be better.

Dont do it! Or if you DO go, eat as much off the ship as possible, and set expectations for poor service while on the ship.

Since it is so large, allow yourself extra time for elevators or use the stairs. Try to avoid elevators during peak times.

If you have any issues whatsoever, go to Guest Services. We wanted to sign up for the Hiro show and it said that it was sold out (I guess you can make reservations before you get on the ship). We went to Guest Services and they got us in and gave us a pass to go to any show, even multiple times.

Not all excursions will make it back on-time to be seated in the main dining room by 6:00pm. Instead do the My Time dining reservation so you won't have to fight for a table at the buffet.

Know that this ship stops at two ports for disembarkment and embarkment so people you are cruising with may not be on the same day of the cruise as you. Guest services lines stay busy and long. Staff rarely know how to direct you or answer questions. Only a handful of stores to shop and they are mostly jewelry stores. The premium restaurants on the 8th deck are superb.

Reserve your restaurants and shows early. Is a big ship, with the Mediterranean route and if you book excursion in all ports, you won’t have time to enjoy the ship properly. The fisrt 2 ports you can be back early at the ship but in the last 3 you will be ariving after 6pm, but overall is a great ship and great ports.
