Let me start by stating I am 23 years old and this was my 11th cruise. (5 on RCCL, 5 on CCL, and 1 on Disney)
When booking this cruise I read reviews and realized they were mixed. I then asked a few friends who have done this ship before and they told me to save my money and not to do it. Well I didn't listen to them and after I booked I had huge buyers remorse. Well for all of you who felt or feel like me, I have to tell you how wrong my friends and all those negative reviews are. The people who gave the negative reviews are way to knit picky. Please somebody tell me a medium to large size cruise ship that does not have lines at bars, lines for the buffet, or limited space in the pool area. When it came to sun bathing though, it was very easy to find a recliner. I never had an issue finding a seat in the Encore theatre. I also went to the show about 15-30 min early to make sure I had the seat I want. The kids on the ship were barely noticeable, sometimes they stayed up late, but they did not cause any trouble and were never loud.
The food on this ship was pretty good, not the best, but the service throughout the entire ship was top notch.
Great room, Larger then a standard balcony room (no balcony though), Great View, Have deck entrance to front of the ship right outside your door (no noise though), People rarely use that deck anyway. This room is a great little secret. Would definitely book this room again.
