Cruised a dozen or so times with various companies - P&O, Princess, Holland America, NCL - this was the largest ship we have ever been on, but regretfully, it didn't live up to expectations. The ship was absolutely packed to capacity, lots of large groups, lots of children, difficult to find a quiet area anywhere. Even the library was busy, and I think that was because people were desperately trying to find somewhere quiet.

Our first cruise in 5 years and overall it felt more downgraded than previous cruises with NCL or their competitors - spoke to a number of other guests who were of the same opinion - the Mr. Best Legs and Miss Bikini Cruise competitions attested to that. Sadly, we chose this ship to take our in-laws for their first cruise and they were not impressed.
