The itinerary fit our available time off, and coincided with our anniversary. I was very happy to discover the ship was coming out of service prior to our trip. The beds are all new and very very comfortable! It was hard to get my wife up on day one. I can't say enough about the staff, they were great, the best thing about our trip. The ocean also co-operated and was relatively flat for the whole voyage. We selected 5:30 dining, but in hindsight, would have chosen any time dining as you get to meet more people. But it was nice to have the option. The ship was full-full, 2800+ guests counting the kids, and invariably someone is going to have a cold or flu, so take along some cold meds if your on a long trip. Yes, I'd go again and not change a thing, except participate more in the provided activities .. I relaxed to much!
