I chose this cruise because i have always like the actual ships better with this cruise line compared to other companies. The embarkation was perfect and the lines moved quickly. There is a lot of activities on the ship for any age group. The food was good but I have had better on other ships i also wish they had more shops like oasis had. Overall i love this ship and definitely plan on getting back on next year. The boardwalk balcony is nice especially if you like to watch the shows in the aqua theature and you can still have a view of the ocean as well. The ports are nice but i probably wouldn't go to the Bahamas again unless you plan on doing excursions. The service was good overall had some small problems one of the servers stereo typed me and was very rude but for the most part the staff was excellent. I will start looking online to book again on this ship.
