This was our 3rd RC cruise (Independence and Jewel previously) and wanted to try the big ship. We knew it would be crowded - so that did not really bother us.
Our flight was delayed into FLL, so we boarded around 3pm with no wait at all. Windjammer was packed (as expected), but stranger saw us wandering around an invited us to sit.
Aqua shows were thrilling and fun. Both ice shows were entertaining, the headliner was fun and Grease was outstanding. Columbus was not our "cup of tea," but we knew others who enjoyed it. We knew to make reservations ahead of time, so we had no issues and they were very well run experiences for us.
Clean and comfy. Plenty of room to hang cloths and store suitcases. Bed was hard and uncomfortable. Noticed it by the final two nights.
