This was our first cruise.... and our last.
When we first got on the ship we were excited- it was big and there were so many things to check out, we felt like we would never take it all in. Well we did by day 3 and we were bored after that. I thought the ship was in decent shape (although I have nothing to compare it to). I thought it was a little annoying that they would be painting or pressure washing the deck in the middle of the day when people wanted to be walking around and enjoying themselves.
The worst part of the cruise by far were the kids- kids kids and more kids everywhere- no parents- just kids (4-17). Some of the kids were OK- we actually enjoyed talking with a 4, 5 & 7 year old who were hanging out by themselves one night- but we were wondering where the heck their parents were. The teens were horrible- they had rule of the ship- they were EVERYWHERE... not nice polite teens- rude, loud, attention seeking teens. They moved in hoards- it was un-nerving. We tried to stay in the ADULTs only pool section- but the teens took that over too... throwing food in the pool, screaming- with no one doing anything about it- except I did see a passenger (not their parent) yell at them about the food in the pool.
