This was my first Atlantis charter gay cruise. I was leery about the size of the ship, but I never felt it too large. There are so many areas to hang out, lots of smaller eating venues, that usually there were no lineups. I particularly enjoyed the calm and quietness of Central Park, with the lovely Park Cafe - a good spot for breakfast (hot sandwiches but no omelette station here) or lunch (soup and salad, either prepared or made to order) and a hot sandwich choice too. There was even hardly any lineup for Guest Services towards the end of the cruise! The regular RCL show Grease was really good and the ice show 1887 was phenomenal; Columbus the musical was a piece of fluff, but it was supposed to be a parody. The parade down the Promenade would be enjoyable for families. Overall, I enjoyed this size of ship, even without partaking in all of the special activities like mini golf, the Abyss slide, the water slides, the rock wall, and probably others I have forgotten! This would be a great ship for families, with lots to do for all!
