Ahh... the cruise business. A wonderful example of the free market at work. Dozens of options, great service, and competitive pricing. All around had a great experience on the Eurodam. My wife and I are in our mid 30's and were traveling with our 21 month old son, nanny, and in-laws. Anybody who has more than minor criticisms of this ship/cruise is either a serious cruise snob or general malcontent.
Embarkation: Took less than 10 minutes and was a breeze. These guys got it down!
Food: I give the food an A. The surf and turf on the second formal night was about as good as it gets. Lido was generally very good except the stale tacos. Pan-Asian Tamarind was fantastic - probably the most I've ever enjoyed an Asian meal.
Great balcony, quiet location, nice decor, comfortable bed, but were packed in like sardines with our 21 month old toddler and his pack and play.
