We chose this cruise for my parents and we sailed with 9 family members. This was my 5th cruise and the embarkation was the smoothest I have experienced. The ship is new and beautiful, staff are friendly and professional, and the food is awesome - even in the buffet. The selection was broad, including vegan and vegetarian options, and even sugar-free desserts for diabetics like me. The menu in the sit-down dining rooms were excellent and varied. We had people with food allergies and the staff were beyond accomodating.The entertainment was very high quality, from music and dance shows to a very funny comedian and a great Beatles tribute band that had everyone singing and dancing. You do need to go at least 30 minutes before the show to get a seat. There was lots of other entertainment too - really something on the go all the time. The shore excursions were varied and interesting. We chose a jeep tour in Cozumel and although we had 2, 20 year olds travelling with us, you had to be 21 to drive the jeeps. This information was not provided in the ship's excursion brochures - just a warning. Overall, would highly recommend this ship
