Review summary

We were on a Holland America ship for a 7 day before this. It was nice to get a week with just a few kids on board. The ships are totally different. Royal is still our preferred line. The ports we have been to before. This was our 69th cruise. The first ice show was canceled for technical reasons. They only had two late night comedy shows.

My very first cruise was on the Adventure back in 2004. It was fairly new and I think at the time about the largest in there fleet. Wow look at the big ones now.
