Like others, read some of the reviews and debated booking it, but it was the dates and itinery we wanted and so we booked it and for the most part did enjoyed it.

Cabin was good (outside) and luckily was mid/forward as this was good for us. Serenity area good, provided you get up early to get sunbeds as they are gone by 8 a.m and you dont mind just a plunge pool with very little room, to cool down in. Other Lido area was very crowded and pool tiny so did not go there except for drinks.

Show lounges are both disappoining after other ships, but staff try their best to work with a crowded ship. The ship is very anti disability and if you cannot get out of a wheelchair you will struggle as there is no space or usable ramps to many areas- the deck 11 serenity area being a really bad one to access.Dining room was o.k. and food mostly good but at times long waits for food. Drink waiters were very overworked and during sea days very hard to get drinks and long waits at bars. Shows were excellent apart from the juggler and game show which should have been saved for camp carnival. Comedy club was good but extremely crowded. If you have a wheelchair ask Noonan about using the rear exit. Elevators were sometimes a problem as they were slow and not all lifts go to all floors. This was made worse by lazy able bodied people hogging them when only going one floor!! This sounds very negative but just pointing out the negatives.
