We chose this ship because it was the newest and largest with everything we wanted for entertainment, dining, etc. We traveled with family members and it was an excellent choice. This was a good family ship with something for everyone! Although this ship had over 6,000 people, they were serviced in a timely fashion. I found that some of the people were very rude (not the staff) and sometimes we made the choice to not eat in the large dining area. However, the dining rooms were very good and the atmosphere was so much different. The selection of food choices and places to eat was very good. The night entertainment choices were excellent and done with good taste. The service, food, staff and entertainment was superb. The embarkation and disembarkation went very smooth. This vacation went very well and it was worth the money. I would recommend this ship to others who are looking to sail the seas.
