I was a bit concerned after reading a few reviews and listening to people who had done a few cruises on other ships. The cabin was spotless the staff were great the choice and quality of the food was outstanding. I would be very happy to take another trip and have recommended it to family and friends. We did hear people complaing that there was not any ice cream at the desert counter but you could buy it from the kiosk. Being the first cruise ship that my wife and I have been on i can't compare it to other cruises but i could not fault any part of the trip. We were worried about the ship being over crowded and having not space to relax or finding room to sit and have a meal . It was never a problem , I will be keeping an eye out for future cruises and hope to take my children and grandchildren for a trip on the Pacific Eden so they can see for themselves what a great experience we had
