I was a bit nervous to travel after seeing so many negative reviews about mostly the same issues, but left on the August 11th cruise with an open mind. Here is what I found.

Embarkation was quick and painless. I arrived at 1030 am, and never waited in a single line. I waited in the lobby area after checking in until my zone was called, but there were no lines beyond that. Great job with getting that many passengers on board in an efficient manner.

Sea days were fun. They had a large amount of activities to do, and there was always something to do to entertain yourself. As for the crowds, they were not as bad as I expected. I ate at the Pasta bar when I got on board (and were the first passengers in there), and enjoyed the pools. Yes, many people save seats, but I still never had trouble finding a seat somewhere. That said, we usually only required one chair to put our stuff on. You will have trouble finding multiple chairs right around the pools unless you go up to deck 11 or 12.
