This was our first cruise. It was my husband and I, we are 27 and 25. We had a blast! Best trip we have taken so far.
Cruise ship: Well, being that it was our first cruise we really didn't have anything to compare it to but we thought it was great!! The rooms are small but from what I hear that's normal for any cruise. We were hardly in it anyways so it didn't matter. We did get a balcony but in our opinion we didn't need one. We were never out there. The only complaint about the ship layout is that the pools are very small, and one of them was closed 6 out of the 7 days. So, we never even got to get into any of the pools.
Food: The food was nothing to write home about! Of course we gained our cruise weight but not because the food was so good-just because it was all over. If you're looking to find a great steak and lobster you're not going to find it here, however, it's not like the food was horrible.
