After reading a few negative reviews I thought I should write my experience. I travelled with my husband and two sons (toddlers). I must say this was our first cruise and I was very excited and worried on how the experience was going to be. I booked last minute so I found a interior room on the 8th floor which worried me also. My husband was kind of hesitant and was kind of thinking it was not going to be at all great. He is very picky and I am as well. I cannot even describe how great it was. We had a fantastic time. We travel every year and we are thinking on cruising from now on till there is no interesting itinerary for us to go on.

I loved it and my husband too. My toddlers loved it as well, they had a blast at the Adventure Ocean camp and with us. Now we must go on the Voyager class. I just can't picture how much more fun could it be. Before we went I read a million reviews and most importantly the negative ones. Out of curiosity I just read one from October saying that some parts were dirty, blah blah.. THis is not true, I am a clean freak and I would be disappointed to see stuff like that and this ship was very clean, new, and you could see the employees all around cleaning but of course, if these people happened to passed by a spot where someone had just left stuff, dah.. its not like you have an employee standing right next to you waiting for your last napkin..right on the spot. I also read right before we left someone complaining that the pool area was small, that they could never find chairs. Not true. There are so many things to do, too many chairs, and when that area is full all you have to do is stand a minute look around and theres always a few people leaving as you get there and you can always move the chairs around and place them where ever you want. It was not crowded, it was a lot of fun.

The interior room was fine too. And the room was very comfortable too. Our room was located on the front of the ship, and I read last minute that this area is prone to lots of motion therefore you get sick. We did not get sick and it was never uncomfortable. One day the weather was not good so there was motion not just in the front but all around but it was not nothing out of this world. Nothing that bothered.
