On January 5, 2014 my husband and I went on our Honeymoon cruise. We had never been on a cruise before so we didn't know what to expect. The ship was beautiful. However, we did not feel there was enough entertainment, unless you wanted to hang out in one of the 21 bars, gamble, or buy jewelry. There were no gift shops on board at all, but plenty of jewelry stores and places to buy liquor. The food was excellent at the Manhattan. The only downside about the restaurants is that they all served the same thing so you didn't have much of a variety. The workers were very friendly. The rooms were nice and comfy. The balconies were not that bad. There was enough room for two people to sit comfortably. There were no children activities except for the pool, so if you plan on bringing children on this cruise, not a good idea. They had a small game room, which was at the end of the ship and we didn't even know It was there until the night before we came home. We thought it was all inclusive but we found there were extra charges for some of the activities (cirque soleil, game room, etc) Make sure you bring a lot of money and many credit cards. If you cruise in the winter the first couple of days it is very windy and cold and a lot of waves. The pool was not available to use until we reached Florida because of the rough waters. Embarkation wasn't too bad, but Disembarkation was a mess. It was very unorganized. It took a long time to find luggage because everybody's bags (3800 passengers) were thrown into one huge room and you had to locate your own luggage. The director of activities, Sinan, was very annoying. We were woke up early every morning with him singing If Your Happy and You Know It, Clap Your Hands.

Cabin Review

Cabin was comfy. Balcony was large enough for two people to sit comfortably.
