We chose this cruise because we were taking our granddaughter (21) on her first cruise and we wanted a ship that would offer many activities that would interest her. This ship lived up to all our expectations and more. We all loved the beautiful decks such as The Boardwalk and Central Park decks. We enjoyed the Solarium also.One negative was the "Towel Stations" were difficult to locate to get towels and return them. The staff in the dining room was superior with the exception of one waitress.All the shows were outstanding. We loved the ice shows and the aqua shows. The comedy shows were excellent as well. The two featured shows, Columbus and Grease were very entertaining. The food was more than plentiful. We enjoyed eating in the Windjammer Marketplace. All the selections were fresh and tasty. The tables were cleaned very quickly allowing for turnover of those seeking a place to eat. The attendants were helpful to those who needed assistance. The ports of call were interesting. This was a very positive experience for all of us.
