I did cruises before but I want to state that this was the best experience that I ever had on a cruise ship before. Not only was this the biggest, but the staff was the nicest people I have ever met. They had great food and excellent service for whatever I needed. The dining hall was beautiful. I think I took at least one hundred pictures. This year we upgraded from the stateroom to a balcony and it was beautiful. The staterooms are nice but the balcony is another level. And it was extremely clean. There was so much to do I was never bored. The shows were awesome, they had great excursions that I went on, and they had great activities for our group. I would recommend this ship and cruise line to everyone who wants to go on a cruise. I will definitely go again, and again and again.
