Adult pool packed by 10:00 am - start day early if you want to workout, get breakfast and go to pool. We enjoyed going to the main dining room for breakfast on days we had time. Go to the rock climbing wall and skating rink at the beginning of open climb or skate time - no lines.

Don't go to Johnny Rockets near (any port of call) boarding time - it'll be crazy! The whole ship is crowded on sea days. Head to dinner earlier than early if you want to catch an elevator! Build up some endurance to take the stairs often.

Huge whirpool in gym area is less crowded than pool whirpools and nice. Use caution booking any interior cabin with window facing the promenade as they do loud parties in promenade that won't let you sleep.

Travel with nearly 1000 Apostolics - There were almost no lines at the bar!

This ship will be renovated with a couple of new restaurants and activities. The additional amenities will definitely make this ship better than ever.

Don't get on the boat before 2 if you have carry on luggage. Your rooms won't be ready and you will have to trek your luggage all over the boat if you want to do stuff.

Again, my first cruise so all I can say is that ship is huge!!!

Do not purchase the excursions via Royal. We purchased a 3 hour beach package and only got one hour on the beach and we were located on the second row, not beach front. In Bonaire, there is a vendor that rents souped up golf carts which looked fun. Not sure of the cost.

Try the trivia night at the piano bar we had a lot of fun and met a lot of nice people, track around the top deck was a nice moonlight stroll.

If you ike your wait staff, book them for the whole cruise. You get better service.

Don't pack as much as we did. It's not necessary. Two dressy outfits, a couple bottoms and more tops to change it up. Bring neutral colored shoes, a black, a tan, sneakers and flip flops.

It is worth paying the extra money for a grand suite or above. You get more attention!

Explore the ship from top to bottom. Check out the helipad - you can get the best views pulling in and out of ports - it is fantastic. It is on deck 5 and accessible only via deck 4 via a staircase in front of deck 4.

Don’t stress too much about how to dress in the main dining room for dinner. I did for months beforehand but then decided we would be fine with our dressy casual outfits and we were. Even on formal night. And eat in the main dining room. It’s a wonderful experience for children. The wait staff makes it enjoyable for them. And try the main dining room for breakfast (a la carte and buffet available) and lunch. Much calmer than the Windjammer!

Book your My Time dinner time via the app to avoid long lines.

Book your my time dinning on the cruise planner before you sail. Yes you can go anytime but it fills up and you may have to wait hours. We booked all nights and the ones we knew we wouldn’t go to we just cancelled on the app that day to free up the space.
