I loved this ship more than any others I have cruised on. Well laid out, I didnt have to walk thru things I didnt want to (art gallery, smokey casino, etc). Ample venues (unlike Norwegian Breakaway) for the entertainment. Fantastic specialty restaurants (Jamie's and Chops Grille) and plenty of pool areas - 3 of them (two inside and one adult only solarium that wasn't extra cost). The skydiving simulator, wave simulator and northstar are all free (but only one ride per person per cruise). The bumper cars, trapeze and rollerskating were fantastic and free! The customer service was fantastic, the cleanliness was remarkable, the decor was amazing, entertainers and shows were great! The cabin was spacious and had usb plugs. The refrigerator wasnt stocked with alcohol and overpriced sodas so we could use it as we wanted (other ships I have had to ask them to remove the items so I could use the refrigerator). The coffee was good and desserts in main dining rooms were phenomenal! Even the buffet had the best carrot cake I had ever eaten. The only negatives were: no real food after 9:30p except pizza, small light sandwiches and small light desserts (but not many ships have anything after this hour any more) and the buffet wasn't all that good (we felt Norwegian Breakaway had a great buffet). We did LIKE being able to utilize the vending soda machines unlike having to wait for bar staff to fill our soda like on other ships, although the machines worked only 75% of the time so you'd have to locate another. Too many children on this cruise, but probably because of the character appearances throughout the ship. Overall - still the best ship I have encountered!
