Big ship with lots of people means long wait times for everything from elevators, to tables, to drinks, and shows are always over-crowded with no seats. Had to wait for 20 to 45 minutes for a dinner table almost every night. There wasn't really a highly organized formal night. The boat was large, but the staterooms were deplorable. The bathroom at the front door is the poorest design of any boat I've been on. I didn't think about it at the time of booking, but when we ordered room service, neither of us felt like we could use the bathroom until our food was delivered. Same thing happened when we asked for towels to be delivered. That wasn't something I thought about until it happened. But the idea of cramming as many people into the smallest rooms possible and overcrowding a huge ship made for a very congested experience. There are far better ships out there, and I would strongly recommend looking at other options. Having cruised several times before, I was least impressed with this ship and the overall experience we had.

Balcony

Horrible room design. Toilet and shower with the front door in between?

Great Stirrup Cay

Crowded tenders and crowded beach, but overall, can't complain
