nope acctuallly the upper cabins were better because u got vip services and ur own private butler and area for u and a couple other people and the lawn chairs u get are nice and comfortabol and the upper area made the cruise a lot better than it would of been with the regular cabin.

I was on her! :) What they kept quiet was things weren't finished or had broken down. A lift was bust as soon as we boarded in Rotterdam. Nightmare trip but she's gorgeous inside and the food is fab!

who cares about the look. I went on this ship from Miami and it's awesome! Best cruise ship I've been on!

What the fuck is that, it looks more like a container ship than a cruise ship. It's absolutely fucking hideous.

@Mrveendam Its one if the most stable ships in the world BECAUSE of its size and weight!!

@WizenedWarrior believe it or not, but a couple hundred people will fit in them!!

I dont understand how everyone onboard that big ship is supposed to fit into the little lifeboats and there doesnt seem to be a lot of them how do they calculate how much is required

RANT ALERT!!! - The ugliest ship I have ever seen. On par with (if not worse than) the original Oriana which, while very weird looking, at least had a sturdy and ship-like shape. I mean I realize it's about revenue these days but even RCCL gave behemouths Oasis and Allure a semi-attractive appearance.
