This was our first ever cruise, so I do not have anything to compare it with, but we were very happy with our choice. The ship is massive, but very clean and contemporary/new and we found it easy to navigate once we figured it out. We stayed in an adjoining balcony cabin with our kids (3) in one room and us in the other. Good set up since the rooms are small (expected this already). We ate at several specialty restaurants (Cagney's,Teppanyaki and twice at Food Republic). We really enjoyed all of these restaurants. The shows were great, especially The Brat Pack show. Dueling Pianos and Comedy shows were great too. We also found all of the servers and staff to be very welcoming and kind. The kids groups are well run too - my 14 year old daughter loved the Entourage Teen group and hung out with her friends she made there most of the time. My only complaint would be the main dining hall food. It was ok/good, but had room to be great and the service was slow, but we expected that with the size of the ship. Overall we were very happy and will definately be back on another cruise in the future. Oh...and we loved our ports, but especially Tortola and our excursion there. We kayaked and did SUP through the ocean and into a mangrove where we saw thousands of small jelleyfish - it was unbelievable - Go to tripadvisor to see this BVI Surf group - Alex! Highly recommend.
