My daughter friend birthday and the parents invited us to go with them,was great boarding the ship from NY was easy headed to the Lido deck for lunch by the time we got upstairs to our stateroom bags was there.The ship is huge this was our first cruise the food was good we try three specialty resturant Ji Ji,cipiano italian,Bonsia all great and the main dining the Merridian ,all the negative reviews I read glad I did pay any attention to them .The cruise was relaxing I stayed on the 14 floor cloud 9 area was nice a little slamming of doors by passengers who could of just hold back the doors from slamming.Did not buy cheers package glad I did not ,you allowed two bottle of wine in your luggage and pay as I go at dinner time for drinks and I was fine drinks are between 7.50 to 9.50 unless you want to sit at a bar all day long,employees was nice hardworking.
