I would have to admit that I was a bit skeptical initially because of the sheer numbers of people, but after embarkation, it did not seem crowded.
It is a great ship and we look forward to doing it again. My advice would be as follows:
1. Be sure to reserve your times for all of the shows that you want to see as quick as you can. We encountered a number of people that did not reserve and were unable to see a specific show.
I liked the location because it was convenient to the suite lounge. Very spacious also.
