The food on this ship was the strangest I have experienced. Nothing was truly awful, but nothing was better than good, odd combinations. Disappointing. Also, in the 24 hr hamburger bar we could see them cooking and were shocked to see them come in with Lobster shells and give them a quick dip in the deep fryer. One of our family has a shellfish allergy and there is no way to know that that happens if we hadn't seen it.The paid restaurants were full the last week which would imply that others had had the same experience we did in the dining rooms.

I have never been told "No" so many times on a cruise. It seemed there were more than the usual rules and some were strange. For example: If you were a party of more than 2 in the dining room you could not sit by a window, even for breakfast. So, in 12 days we never had a window seat in any dining room.

We were looking for a way to see the most sights with our 3 children. It was a great way to meet that objective. My youngest (9yrs.) despised the "Day care" as he called it, adults are not allowed to see what goes on in there, which concerned me. Our 14 year old, however, enjoyed his age group, it was a laid back set up. This was the first cruise for the children and they were delighted by it, and the concept. They would like to cruise again. We will pay more attention to reviews for our next cruise, though the itinerary for this one was fabulous and the reason we selected this one.
