Let me preface this review by saying I am in the hotel/restaurant and tourism business. I help run a 4 star resort in Colorado. I have been on 4 other cruises (RCCL, NCL and Carnival before)

The ship itself was gorgeous. It was very fun and decorated beatifully. This ship had the best pool layout of all the ships I have been on. I loved having the movie/tv outside and the theater style areas with the lounge chairs. This is the only cruise where I did not have to worry about finding a chair as there are several places to lay out.

The food was great. I thought is was much better than NCL and RCCl. There were plenty of dining options. Do not miss the burrito bar or the deli or the 24 hour pizza. For foodies you MUST check out Scarletts! additional $30.00 for lobster bisque, spinach salad, 24oz porterhouse and amazing desserts was a steal! If there is a must on the cruise this is it. The staff was amazing and the wine sommolier was the best.

7-355 was great. 2 floors below the pool and 2 bove the main deck where everything was. Right in the middle of the ship. They just need to make sure it is very clean each time
