Overall it was a great cruise. I was concerned with the size and number of people on this ship, but with so much to do everywhere, it did not seem crowded at all. There was always lots going on.

Our biggest disappointment was with the food. It was very bland and poor quality. The only night we raved about our meal was when we ate at the non-free Chops Grille. That was amazing!! We don't know if the quality of the food was because of the sheer volume of people they had to serve, or if it was their way to GET you to pay the extra money for the specialty restaurants. In the dining room, the serving sizes were also pathetic. One night, I ordered the lobster ravioli. 4 chef boy ardee sized ravioli. Desserts were unimpressive as well.

Our favorite things about the ship was the great gym facility, and we could always find deck chairs! We did not get a chance to try everything or everywhere. Our teenagers had fun. One enjoyed the teen scene at night, the other did not. The best show was Blue Planet. Chicago was a snoozer! Read more
