This is a write-up I just did about this cruise. It was a special cruise on Royal Caribbean that they do annually called the President's Cruise. Thought you might enjoy the read, photos and videos I posted below on my website.

Embarkation

Super easy. I was on the ship within 10-15 minutes of entering the brand new cruise terminal.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
The buffet in the Windjammer was great. This was the annual President's Cruise, so they really outdid themselves on everything. On the first day for lunch, there were all-you-can-eat lobster tails and a full spread of all kinds of fresh seafood added to the usual buffet choices. All kinds of tasty desserts to chose from, too.
I ate all my other meals in Coastal Kitchen. I always thoroughly enjoy this restaurant onboard because it has a more intimate setting on the very top deck of the ship where I am able to enjoy incredible views of the ocean and pool deck while enjoying a meal that is always fresh, tasty, and creative.
Onboard Activities
5 out of 5
The fitness center, spa, casino, and theaters for the shows are always really nice, clean, and modern. They're known for their outstanding shows. Seeing a show at the Aquatheater on any of the oasis class ships is always a must.
Entertainment
5 out of 5
They offer a variety and the shows are always fantastic.
Children's Programs
I don't have children
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
I could not have asked for any better service all around.
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
Beautiful ship! Very clean. In a few places, the carpet is a little worn in the cabin areas, but that is to be expected when thousands of new people are walking on it every week and sail year around. These ships go into drydock for regular maintenance and upkeep every few years. All of the ships I have ever sailed on with Royal Caribbean are always very well-maintained.
Cabin / Stateroom
4 out of 5
Clean, plenty of outlets, comfortable bed, and nice size balcony. Furniture was nice. No tears or stains on furniture or carpet. Normal wear and tear in the cabin from use over the years, but not worn down.
Ship tip
Check out the view of Central Park on deck 9 by the elevators. A couple of little balconies that anyone can sit at with table and chairs on either side. A hidden gem!
Nice port! Enjoyed an all-inclusive day at the beach at the Turquoise Bay Dive & Beach Resort. Really nice resort with great food, service, and amenities. Loved the fresh coconut water served out of a real coconut that I was greeted with.
