Wanted a 10 day cruise and wanted to go south. Embarkation went smoothly and we were able to board early even though we had a later time assigned. The ship was a nice size, not too large but not too small. Plenty of bars and seemed to be room for the 2000+ guests. It was crowded at the pool during sea days but chairs could be located on upper decks. The food was so-so. Only ate at the Brazilian steak house out of the 5 specialty restaurants and it was excellent. The buffet food was nothing exciting and they had difficulty keeping it hot. Great place to get a salad or pasta from the pasta bar. Menu at small and large dining rooms were the same so you could go to either. Enjoyed breakfast at the Irish restaurant every morning. The service was excellent and staff always had smiles and nice words. Would do this cruise again.
