Ok I highly advise that everyone once booked to check out CruiseCritic.com's Meet & Mingle section. Find your ship, sign up for the blogs and participate. Even though our trip was less than 7 days and no sponsored Meet & Mingle we made our own. When we made it on the ship it felt like we already had friends. And those kind that last a lifetime.

The ship was great. No real problems. But we are easy going. I am not nick picky and I believe that you can make anything good or bad. It's your state of mind. Like when some of the veteran cruisers heard that we never met our cabin stewart that bothered them saying that was bad. The way I see it he/she was never in our way.

I must say that the Cruise Director and his staff were outstanding. Always involved and making sure everyone was entertained. By the way Make sure you do the Quest(not really for kids).
