This is a beautiful ship, and I did my homework before going. We bought a spa package and loved it. I believe that ALL the children in America got out of school right before we left, because the sheer number of children was astounding. It mostly caused problems in the buffet or hallways.
I felt the slot machines were very tight, and never saw anyone get a hand pay during the week. That being said, a Cruise is always what you make it- and ours was fun.
