This was our first cruise. We went on the same one as the lady below we but have different opinions of the ship. The service was great, food was fine and yes there was a lot of drinking on the sun deck and pool deck. It was also spring break and there were over 700 college kids on this boat. The comedy shows in the theater were great, we went to all of them. Freestyle was nice and relaxing. We ate at Seven Seas three times and the service and food was fine. The chocolate buffet on Wednesday was really good. The hamburger/pizza bar at the back of the boat was great and was open 24hrs. We elected to get a suite which was a lot larger than the regular stateroom. If you can I would suggest you do this. The perks that go with this include daily goodies, captains party, champagne in the room at check in and first off the ship. The only bad part of the trip was rough seas on Friday all day. We had read a lot of bad things about this boat prior to leaving. I was never disappointed while on this ship or on the prebooked tours we took.
