We had a complete blast with our group of 12 people. Some of the nit picky complaining reviews on this cruise are absolutely ridiculous. The food was great, the atmosphere was awesome, the staff were amazing. I saw no need to go to any of the paid dinners with the quality of food at the complimentary options, delicious options. The pool options are separated between an adult only pool and the kids area which was a nice retreat. There is something happening all day on the ship.
