Mega ships are definitely not for me and my husband. To say that this ship has a capacity of 4,000 people, the entertainment was subpar. There weren't enough shows. As a seasoned cruiser, I am accustomed to before and after dinner shows. The show times were inconvenient given the amount of people on this "mega" ship. The system for watching consecutive shows was absolutely ridiculous. Despite having watched the first comic, we had to exit the comedy club, stand in line, and re-enter to watch the second comic. Bingo is normally played in the day time. Instead, bingo was played in the evening and at night in the theatre, which reduced the entertainment performances. I understand one wants to vacation with family; however, I couldn't help but notice the overwhelming amount of children on this cruise. My husband and I choose cruising in the winter months in hopes of avoiding children. Unfortunately, that was not the case with this cruise.
