Ships layout and design was a lovely surprise from five years ago. All my cruises on Royal Caribbean Line has been great and they are always clean and well maintained.

I had a lovely outside balcony cabin by myself, as this was my first cruise as a widow. It was nice size, very clean & close to elevators. My family enjoyed two nice interior balcony cabins where it was fun to observe lots of activities, such as Santa's zip line!

Ship tip

Prepare for a lot of walking, pack light and confortable. If you are a senior (like me, age 80) bring a cane or rent a scooter.

Sorry not enough time for the grandsons to visit fish tunnel at Atlantis, as I think you now have to be a guest even though there is a fee. We hired a private driver. Lot has changed as I have stayed there few times. To enjoy Paradise Island its best to Book a weekend at Atlantis.
