Review summary

Lots of activities for kids and young adults, humongous ship.  Daily feeding frenzy in the Windjammer buffet room, difficult finding a seat.  Other eating areas much better. Food such as hamburger, pizza, and hotdogs mainly geared for young people, not much healthy or gourmet food.  Dining room and Solaris a better choice.  Even the Vitality Spa cafe has nice little sandwiches - no charge. Mini suite is very roomy and nice, large balcony, 2 loungers, 2 chairs and table.  Great bed and sheets. Royal Prominade is like a Mall with Starbucks, cafés, and shops. Overall a very functional ship, little elegance. Don't recommend for retired people.  Large groups and families yes.

Too many people on the tour to Atlantis- couldn't understand/hear the guide unless you work your way to the front.

I try to eat in the MDR whenever possible.  I am retired and I love the mega ships.  So much to see and do.  I am never bored.  Even if I don't do all the activities I enjoy watching those that do.  How wonderful that you stayed in a mini suite.
