What a beautiful and spacious ship this was! Our rooms were a nice size and we also had balconies which I would recommend to anyone thinking of taking their first cruise. It is so peaceful sitting out there. You saw a lot of the captain on the cruise, so much more than on any other cruise we have taken. The captain was also gorgeous! (and single)

There was a total of 13 family members on this cruise to celebrate my parents 50th wedding anniversary! There were three kids under 18 years of age 17, 14, 13. We all were able to sit together for dinner each night without a fuss. Our waiter Ernesto was great! He sang and danced for us (and made my niece and I dance and do the conga line with him also!)

There was also a lot to keep us busy during the day, "Newlywed" games,deck games, pool games, bingo, waterslide, basketball,game room,card room, shuffleboard, ping pong and of course the pools! (which is where my honey and I spent every day soaking up the sun!)There were three pools on this ship. The one at the back of the ship was reserved for adults only and they really enforced that rule (my poor niece)! At night, the shows in the Follies lounge were fantastic. No matter where you sat in the lounge you could see everything. The casino was quite large compared to other ships I have been on. Here they also enforce the "no one under 18 permitted rule"! Just ask my nephew! The slots paid off real nice for my sister and mother (I never win) and the Let it Ride table paid off real well for my uncle and my son did very good on the Texas Hold 'em table each night. Read more
