This was our first cruise. I could not have asked for a better experience!

The Ship - The ship was beautiful and modern. It took a few days to figure out the layout and determine the best way to end up where we wanted to be, but I think that is to be expected. Our cabin was a 8149 (balcony) and it was amazing. If my wife would have let me, I could spend every day at sea sitting out there and watch the water go by. The cabin was spacious enough for our family of four (8yo and 2yo). The cabin and ship overall exceeded my expectations.

The Food - The food was pretty good considering what we paid for the trip. We only ate in the main dining room (Your Time Dining) once so I can't really evaluate that. We ate most meals at the Lido. It was alright to good. To me, breakfast was the best there. The pastries were almost always good. Otherwise, it was powered eggs, some form of sausage, some form of potatoe, and over or undercooked bacon. Guys Burger joint is GEM!! They have great burgers and fries. We proabably hit them up once a day. The Wok was good for lunch, but always had a long line. That said, I think the hot fresh fair was worth the wait and my kids loved watching them cook it.
