We were on the 7/23 cruise. First time on this cruise line. Other cruises include Disney and Royal Caribean. To get onto the ship was very easy. We got to the terminal about 12pm and by 12:30 we were on board and at the buffet. The room, which had a balcony, was smaller than rooms on other lines but very nice. The bed seemed like a king size bed and was very comfortable. The cabin steward was very nice and did a great job. The room was very clean.

The cruise line pushes freestyle dining. While it sounds great, there are some problems with it. First, you may have to wait in line depending on what time and night you go to the dining room. But our biggest problem was that you never had the same waiter twice. They didn't get to know your preferences. Other lines knew right off what you like and if you have a certain drink you like, they bring it right away. Here they couldn't do that. One night we got to dinner at 8:30 and by 11pm we still hadn't gotten to dessert.
