+ Convenient for people in north east area.  No need of air travel

+ Great covered parking facility at the Bayonne Port.  Reasonable price of $20 per day

+ Modern ship, great wi-fi, nice & modern facilities, bigger staterooms

+ Our kids loved skyplex the play area for kids with bumper cars, roller scating, xbox one games, ping pong, basketball and soccer.  They didn't even go to the Royal Adventure club.

+ Speciality restaurants are good but they cost extra money

+Two70 theater and bionic bar are awesome.  

+ Great solarium facility, the closed roof is a good adaptation for the cold winters of north east

Now some minor negatives

- The staff seemed exhausted and over worked.  Service in the complimentary dining restaurants is bad.  It has to be improved a lot.  Wrong orders, no follow up on food and drinks, not enough waiters for tables etc.

- The ship seems a little small for the crowds.  What I heard is this is a good ship for cruises longer than 7 days.  For cruises less than 7 days, the main attractions like ifly and northstar can't accommodate all the interested passengers

- The toilet flush sounds from adjacent balconies are a little too disturbing into my room
