We generally choose our cruises based on ports but since we have been to almost all Caribbean ports and we wanted a short break, we chose this cruise for the Ship based on reviews on Cruise Critic.
Although there were over 6000 passengers including 2000 kids, (unknown to us at time of booking, it was Spring Break in the USA), we certainly did not feel in the least crowded. We have sailed on numerous ships but never this large, including the more intimate Azamara, as well as Celebrity, Princess, Holland, and Norwegian.
The service on this ship far exceeded any we experienced on other lines. Also, the quality and variety of the included food was as good or better than on our luxury cruises.
This cabin is much smaller than other balcony cabins we have had on other ships. Tight spaces between the closet and side of the bed and the end of the bed and wall.
A huge sofa takes up a lot of space.
Least amount of storage of any cabin we have ever had on other ships. We had difficulty unpacking even though we only took carry on luggage.
On the balcony, a bridge blocks the view to the left but the view on the right is excellent.
