Review summary
Pros: Overall it was a fun experience being on the biggest ship in the world. Lots of activities and places to explore. So big that we didn't make it to them all. The staff was great and helpful! It was super nice to be on a ship where everything in your stateroom was up to date and functioning. The beds were comfy and had plenty of pillows. The closet layout was a little wonky and lacking in shoe storage spots, but other than that, plenty of storage. The door locks are bluetooth which was nice. One thing we really liked is we didn't smell exhaust from the back of the ship. That was so nice. Perhaps they've made them more clean burning. Lots of deck space, but it didn't feel so big because of all the people. Cons: They've finally built ships that are too big. There are too many people everywhere you wanted to go and it felt chaotic. We will choose smaller ships going forward. More people mean more problems. The ship got delayed twice in ports waiting for medical emergency transfers, 3 just on the first day had to be flown out, which meant the ship couldn't leave. Thankfully, they were able to go full speed to the next island so we didn't miss any ports, but it looked like we'd miss one at least. It's just too big.Embarkation

Ship tip
Because the ship is so huge, make sure you're a person who likes crowds. It was crowded everywhere we went from embark and debark, which were chaotic messes, to trying to get tickets to shows. The pool area was bonkers. It was hard to find quiet little spaces to be solo, but we found a couple.
