We chose this cruise because of the longer than normal stop in Bermuda which really gave us time to explore the island. We were a bit concerned about the ship being so large and there being so many people on board. We bought spa passes and got an aft balcony (a little more space then the regular balcony) thinking that worse case is we spend a lot of time in the spa and in our cabin. But it was not necessary. The ship never seemed too crowded as long as you think a little bit about where the masses are going to be and avoid those areas. Example, when people are crammed around the pool during the middle of the day, there were PLENTY of lounge chairs on the upper deck. Not a problem for us. One of the best parts of the cruise was the entertainment. There was something fun going on at all time. The shows were fantastic! Choir of Man was outstanding. Food in the main dining rooms were very good. My husband is a chef and a bit critical about dining out, but he was very happy with the food. We had 3 specialty restaurant vouchers to use and we decided that if we cruise again on this ship, we may chose an different perk. The specialty restaurants very nice but really no better than the main dining rooms. I have a gluten issue and they are always very attentive to that. I had a problem pre-ordering my meal one night and ran into 2 officers right after. I asked them if they could help and they were both falling over themselves to help. I'm not kidding - they could not do more to make it right. Our cabin was a typical size cabin. Lots of storage and room for luggage under the bed. My only complain was that there was no one to great us when we came on the ship! Lol, I'd forgotten all about that until we left the ship and there were people there to say good bye.
