Hi Julianna,
I will be just ahead of you during the Thanksgiving week... I am taking mom on that ship for a cruise for the holidays... I will be on the Nov 20 - 23 Cruise... I guess it is "what you make of it"... I agree we are going on an older ship and we wont have the ice skating shows, the larger promenade shops, the wave pool and the extra restaurants -- but i think we still have a great ship... I personally think the size of it will be great (smaller crowds),

we aren't at work - we are on vacation and it has really nice ports... i like the fact that you can see many places on (1) vacation... Anyway, I have seen a few of the "negatives" on here myself, but was also reassured by many who had gone on her before. I think if we go with an open mind and ready to just relax and enjoy --- We will...
Hope you have a great trip...
Rhonda
