First time we took a cruise and really enjoyed it. At first the crowds can be a bit overwhelming but as time goes on it seems to even out. The employees were fantastic. Every interaction with them was a complete pleasure. The music was outstanding (Music Power really delivered 70's and 80's sounds). The 2 shows we saw were really well done. The food in both the buffet and seated dining was very good. Our room was comfortable and housekeeping was perfect in every way. It's a good value for your money. We have decided to cruise more often and look forward to it. (one thing: in my opinion the desserts were REALLY not that good, but I have a discriminating sweet tooth~~!!).
