As far as the ship goes I really didn’t think the ship ever felt crowded…nor did I think it felt as BIG as I expected. It helps that they’re all pretty much laid out the same way. Plenty of chairs and spaces in which you can relax.

I LOVED our dining room staff and food. I thought it was better than my previous Cruise on Conquest (which I had no problem with either). I will say our head Waiter (Divan) was overwhelmed with too many large tables, but he did an amazing job, as did our assistants Toki and Adi.
