I took this cruise to be with friends who had children, and I think that it was great for meeting that objective. I saw lots of families and young friends together and I think the ship is greet for that purpose, but older folks or older couples might not enjoy it.

The big downside for me was the level of service. The waitstaff and cabin stewards did great, but if you needed something from guest services they were not helpful or friendly.

The AC was variable, on our last night, I had it cranked all the way and still roasted (and we had no window that could have been open). My friend had her toilet overflow in her suite on the first day, and with minimal liquid and toilet paper in the bowl.
