We were concerned after reading reviews about unruly kids on the cruise. We switched our cruise to a week when European kids were in school (All European kids, since we pick up passengers from other ports). There were 2,100 passengers on the cruise and only 200 kids. The previous week we were told there were 3,000 passengers and as many as 1,000 kids. Good choice on our part. The cruise was the best vacation ever!! Best cruise line we've been on. Getting on and off the ship from Ports of Call/Disembarkation was seamless. The food was good in both paid restaurants and free restaurants. We always found something to eat at the buffet as well. Only complaint would be Tappanyaki not worth the $25...although I must be in the minority because the place was sold out every night. Cagney's and Asian Fusion Restaurant well worth the money. We had an outside cabin, plenty of room for all my clothes...packed 3 outfits for each day!! No iron provided though, brought my own. VERY CLEAN CABINS!! We never felt crowded in any areas. The Martini Bar was our favorite. Lindsay and staff were GREAT!! Love the olive & cheese tray!! The bar felt very private to us, which we liked. Gambled most nights until 2:30 am, what a blast. Thanks for the free drinks. Staff was Excellent, Loved Elena!! Get the Coupon Book on first night, we hit for $200. We never felt "Sold To"...not ever. No one tried to up sell us or pressure us to purchase anything, none of the stuff others complained about. We are booking the same ship for Venice/Greece/Turkey for September/2010...that's how much we Loved It. I'm not going to review Ports of Call...so many others have done that. But I thought it was important to give our experience on the ship.
