App wont work on older smart phones.
Ship left so fast I missed seeing NY harbor, we were still in the mandatory
But we got a great night view on the way back!
No promenade deck most of the ship
Some areas with limited rail space
Zero view forward on deck 15.
Did I mention this ship is crazy big?  That comes with pluses and minuses.
Followed a Holland America ship into Boston.
Glass blocks the wind, and your view.
So many deck chairs you can't get to the rail.  I walked over them some
They briefly piled up the chairs which made getting to the rail better, but
Nice little deck behind Windjammer, often roped off.
Deck behind windjammer. A great place when you can get there.

Ifly is fun.

Best part: the shows, the food, Flowrider and Ifly, 99% friendly crew, the sunsets

Worst part: lack of outdoor view points, glass in your view, practically no promenade deck, a LOT of walking, zero forward facing outdoor view except about half the time the wings over the bridge were open.

Background: A dad in his 60’s traveling with adult daughter, ≈ 20 past cruises mostly on HAL and Princess, some RC and Disney.
