This was an absolutely fabulous cruise! The ship is spectacularly laid out, and even though there are 4,000 guests on board I was always able to find a quiet spot to relax. The activities are fun and endless. The bedding and rooms comfortable with great shower pressure. The boat is kept spotless, and staff are cleaning literally 24 hours per day.

We found the food to be excellent. Quite frankly, I don't understand the negative reviews of the food. If you can't find good food on this ship you just are not looking. The Guy Fieri's burger place is fabulous as is the 24 hour pizzeria which uses the freshest ingredients. The formal dining room...well we had the best waiter I have ever had on a cruise ship, named Dragen. I never asked twice for anything and after the first night he knew exactly what we wanted. Included for no extra charge was filed mignon one night, lobster tails another,and prime rib on two nights. The buffet...always had fresh fruit and salads. Some dishes were better than others, but there was always a freshly cut and pressed deli sandwich and panini bar open, and breakfast was bountiful including omelette stations and pastry bars.The desserts were endless and fabulous. Spontaneous chocolate buffets occurred!

The dive in movies were fun, something I never thought I would be interested in! The kids had a ball in the kids programs, and the sky ride, water park, pools were all great! I would say the casino was just too smoky for a non-smoker, and it took almost an hour and A half to embark even though we arrived a our assigned time, BUT this was an absolutely spectacularly well done ship, great time had by all, and we hope to sail on hypos ship again!
