This was our first cruise of this type and we were concerned about the size of the ship and how we might become "lost in the crowd." However, as huge as the ship is we settled in and had a wonderful "home" for the week. The room attendant was most helpful and warmly greeted us each day, wanting to know what we planned for the day and at the end of the day was excited to hear about our adventures. We had a room with the smaller balcony and found it totally adequate. Our dining experiences were great - we tried several of the restaurants and found all to be wonderful. We had "My Time" dining and thought we were limited to only the times for which we registered, but found out upon sailing that we could go to the dining room when open and get seated if there were available seats. We never had a problem getting seated. The ship was very clean and staff over the entire ship were very helpful and accommodating.
