Thanks for the replies. This is an 8 night w 3 sea days. I'm probably overthinking it, but we were just so unhappy w Odyssey. Some cruisers are more about the ports than us I'm sure. We always enjoys whatever we come up with to do at the stops, but for us it's the time on the ship in the evenings that we most look forward to.

Good Evening Everyone. Out of nowhere last night at dinner w my wife's parents we decided to explore cruises to Europe instead of our normal Caribbean out of FL. We have narrowed it down to one on Allure and one on Independence. We probably lean toward the itinerary on Independence, but here is the problem. After we sailed on Odyssey my family thought we would never make the mistake of straying from Oasis Class again. Fast forward a couple years and here we are about to do it again. We felt like Odyssey was overcrowded and it wasn't even at 100%. I know there are a lot more ppl on Oasis Class, but it just seems like people are more spread out and not competing as much for space at any of the venues. We just got off of Symphony a couple weeks ago and apart from On Air, we never had trouble with overcrowding anywhere after the first day. So I guess I'm wondering if there are those of you out there that have been on both and would have any comments or advice. Thanks in Advance, Stephen
