Our mixed-age family and friends group of 14 had a fantastic time over Thanksgiving week. The kids had plenty of activities, the adults plenty of sun. Everyone commented on how beautiful the ship was. After nearly two years in service the interior remains flawless. The "Easy" drink package was a nice surprise, no awkward paper receipts, bartenders who knew you just asked if you wanted another. Our waiter and assistant in the dining room were top notch. They went above and beyond to keep all of us happy, especially the kids. Our cabin steward was as good as any we've encountered, and the condition of our cabin was great. The entertainment was great fun, incorporating the stunning athleticism of the circ performers into each show. A nice break from the Las Vegas style shows we no longer attend on other lines. MSC gave us their highest status -- Diamond -- to match our Princess Elite status, and we enjoyed a nice gathering with the MSC officers. Enjoyed this even though MSC's "status match" program is a one time good deal. This was our 54th cruise and one of our best. One request from the kids: more soft serve ice cream!
