We sailed with 10 people less than the Coast Guard allowed body count. All staterooms booked. We had a great time and had no issues with crowds. We ate, went to shows and comedy, rode the slides and did the ropes all with no issues. There were definitely many people but we went in positive and really had no problems.
This shift is beautiful, entertaining and filled with a very stellar crew. I've said clearly but really can't say strongly enough to go enjoy this ship. I read reviews for months and heard some of the concerns. People, it's your vacation, go have fun and quick stressing over little things.
This ship's a gem!
Took a cab to Emarald Beach ($6 pp each way).
It was beautiful and not real crowded.
