We chose it mainly for the itinerary but also because we have not been on the Freedom Class. You had to look hard to know she was 12-13 years old. Very minor blemishes that I could see. It’s the first time I saw lifeguards and was very surprised. All of the food we (4 adults) had was good. Maine lobster tails (no extra cost), what a treat. Windjammer was busy for the most part but we could always find a table. Keep walking as there is plenty of food and seating past the first station. If you sail out of Puerto Rico, be prepared for many from PR. I’m not saying it was bad but they do make announcements in both English and Spanish. We had to balcony cabins, center of hump. Our steward opened the balcony partition on request. Udine was a very sweet and wonderful cabin steward. We have been on the Allure and I did miss deck 8. Next up, Oasis and Symphony, we like mega!
