I took this cruise with 11 other friends/family members for a girls only getaway. My last cruise was on the Holiday (which is out of service now), and this was a huge upgrade in my opinion. We take a girls trip every year and this one was even better than last year.

The cabins are basically the same, but the pictures on the walls are BORING--and NOTHING cruise related--I would definitely change that, but they were really comfortable and this time we had a mini bar in the room and it seemed larger than on my last cruise. The bathrooms are much roomier in the cabins-and the ones on deck are MUCH MUCH nicer on this ship. The atrium is absolutely beautiful and the dining room was very nice--although they did split our party, which I didn't really like, but it worked out ok. The shops were nice and there was plenty of them! The photo area was pretty cool-it was really large and now they have a touch screen that will allow you to scan your sign and sail card to find your pictures. It doesn't find them all, though, so it's a good idea to keep those little card things they give you when you take pics on board and to remember where you had pictures made--we still had to look for a lot of them, but I think with time, that feature can be invaluable.

The pictures are still really expensive--I bought much fewer on this trip than last, because many of them just weren't great--but for the cost of photos, (one of my friends who was on the cruise is a professional photographer), the cost is pretty outrageous--we took plenty of our own pictures, though, so buying just a few was a good way to get memories without breaking the bank. I did notice that they offered the services of a photographer to accompany your party for a certain length of time without obligation to purchase, which could be nice if it were a special occasion. Her pictures that were featured were really nice, but we didn't use the service, so I don't know how it works.
