I had never wanted to take a cruise before. I was afraid that there would be too many people and not enough culture. I was SO wrong! We traveled with our 8 year old son, my parents and my husband's parents. We all had an excellent time. There were only a few times when you were even aware of the large number of people on board. Once we got the hang of the ship we could choose when we wanted to dine at the large buffet and when we wanted a smaller restaurant experience. There were always large crowds when entering and exiting the ship, but the process the staff have for managing everyone made it go very smoothly and easily.
There was something for everyone to do and enjoy. The food was delicious. The service was impeccable.
I was very glad that we chose to spend a little extra for the balcony room. It was a great experience.
Our room was lovely. Very workable space with two adults and a child. Amazing views.
We stayed at the Marriott over the bridge from the port. It was excellent and very easy to get to the ship.
