Additional details

Sail Date: Dec 2013

A $760 million ship that has a few nice features but lots of problems and should probably be taken back to the yard for MAJOR alterations.

The Good--Very nice atrium, large, bright and the center for lots of activity. Clever skywalks where you can look through a glass floor down to the sea 15 levels below your feet. Horizon Court (food cafe) laid out very nicely with nice choice and good display of food.

The Mediocre--very narrow balconies--why even call them a balcony? Just put a rail next to the door so you don't fall overboard and forget trying to cram 2 chairs and a table onto a balcony that is not wide enough to qualify as a balcony. The Theatre--only 2 levels with narrow seats such that any large person must side "sideways". From the seats front of center and off to the sides, the narrow stage opening doesn't permit a complete view. Not near enough capacity for a ship designed to carry 4,000 passengers. Unless you arrived at least 30 minutes early--good luck finding more than two seats together. After the second night, we never again went to the theatre and at least in our cruising pleasures, the theatre is a place we usually love--not on this ship.
