Review summary

We had a great vacation celebrating our 20th anniversary. My only complaint is how crowded the ship was. It seemed like there were way too many people on the ship. It hampered my experience. The food was amazing. Service was great. They kept the ship very clean. We really appreciate the luggage service provided, taking our luggage to the airport. Royal Caribbean is a great cruise line.

It was excellent because we stayed on the ship & we finally got to enjoy the pools & hot tubs for a few hours. And the buffet was not crowded.

I can't imagine going on a cruise ship that holds 8500 passengers. No wonder it felt crowded
