Sure the ship was full which 1580 were kids because it was Texas Spring Break, but the experience was pleasant. The vastness of the ship afforded enough space for all. Lido deck pool areas, sports area, and Serenity area were busy, however the 5th deck area was very comfortable and space available at all times.
Only a few times there were waits for the elevators. We used the stairs when we were going down.
Food: Good, nothing outstanding. Have had the same menu on the Freedom. The Grill and Deli on the Lido decks were good. Buffets were busy and provided a variety of selections. We tried the Cucina del Capitano for lunch with mixed reviews in our party of 4 adults. Sushi & More from 5:15-8:15 PM provided 3 different samples each evening except for the first Elegant Evening. The sushi and sauces were good. We did not try the Steak House but heard from other passengers that it was worth the price. We enjoyed breakfast in the dining room.
Cabinet was nice. There was an unidentifiable noise we would hear at night.
