We are a family of 5 my kids are 15, 19 & 23 and my FIL took this cruise. We had a great time. I was so worried reading some bad reviews before going. However we found everything to be great!! Except the lady in guest relations who was the most unfriendly person I ever meet.

We live in NJ so getting to port was great. Port is a little confusing with drop off and pick up in same area and only 2 lanes getting in. We got there early and were check in without lines. Waited in the holding area about an hour and was on board by 12:08. Went to WJ for lunch.

Dinning - We found the WJ food to be ok. The dinning room food we thought to be excellent. My oldest is a Chef and was pretty surprised that the food in dinning room to be good and flavorful. He knows how hard it is to cook for that many people. Lunch in the DR is excellent with the salad bar. We ate in Portofino's one night and was disappointed. The food was not as well seasoned as it was in the dinning room. However, it was good and the portions were bigger than in the DR. Service was excellent could not do enough for you both in Portofino & DR. The WJ service was not as good. Mostly breakfast and lunch we ate there. Was asked only once if I wanted a drink in all the times we ate there. Cafe promenade was nice to have would get my tea at night. Pizza wasn't bad. Lines could get long at times.

Cabin PR

I had 7611 PR cabin. Was very happy! Never any noise. Nice to look out and see what's happening. Close to elevators and stairs.
