We wanted to go on this ship since we have not cruised this class ship yet. We were not disappointed, the ship is beautiful and well designed. The staterooms were roomy and laid out well. The bumper cars were a lot of fun. There were a lot of great dining and entertainment options as well. The Fall color was not at peak yet, so that was a bit of a disappointment, but, we enjoyed the cooler temperatures. We did not attend most of the shows because they turn up the volume so loud it hurts your ears. Not sure I would allow and children to attend without ear protection. The only bad experience we had was our airport transport after the cruise -- it took us 2 hours and 45 minutes after we left the ship -- for some reason not enough buses. I hope that was an anomaly for the Newark cruise port.
