DO NOT be fooled into thinking this larger ship has more to do or see. It is only larger to accommodate more cabins. There is less open space, and less bars. there is no outside dining for the specialty restaurants, Other ships in the fleet have two outdoor bars. This ship has none except the pool bars. On other ships you can walk around the perimeter. On this ship you can only walk along the starboard side, but I don't know why you would as the view is completely blocked by tenders and the restaurant seem to send all their exhaust right onto the area. This ship is poorly designed. It has a constant jiggle to it no matter the sea conditions. I asked a crew member about it and he said this ship always does it.

These morons placed the circus dinner show directly above the French restaurant. This means that while you are trying to enjoy a quiet classy meal it sounds like someone is dropping pianos on the floor above you while you also get to listen to the thumping of the loud circus music.

As for entertainment the big shows in the theater are great. The dancing shows and the Beatles tribute band are very entertaining. There is a Jamaican band with a singer who sounds like a cat being tortured. Another young band that more than one person said it reminded them of a high school garage band.
