Epic indeed! The ship was full to capacity but I did not experience any delays (embarkation/disembarkation, elevator, restaurants, services, bars) Of course we had to get in line but the line moved quickly. I brought walkie talkies expecting that it would take forever to walk from one end of the ship to another and needing to reach each other but we only used it the first 2 days. The ship was easy to navigate and good signage at every elevator.
I stayed in a family balcony stateroom on deck 12 with my 3 sisters and it was comfortable with adequate storage space. Privacy was not an issue for us but it may be for those who are not as close.
Dining was great in the Manhattan where we dined about 4 times. Taste was also delicious as was the Garden Café and H2O Spice. O'Sheehans was not a good experience. I order the corned beef hash and it was very dry and very salty. Tiny cubed potatos and beef, no onions or spices.
Super comfortable beds, adequate storage space but cabin needs more lighting. We were up before sunrise and it was a challenge applying makeup.
