Review summary
This is probably the best cruise and cruise ship that I've ever been on. I loved the way the ship was decorated (strange but I loved it). The food and the service was great! My stateroom was very comfortable and my stateroom attendant was fantastic. I was worried about the crowds but the ship is so big, and there are so many things going on that people tend to spread out. (I tried to avoid the buffet during peak times - and got to my scheduled events early) The bumper cars and the iFly were a blast! and although I didn't participate in the flow rider or the rock wall I loved watching other people!
The only negatives were 1) my Northstar got cancelled -twice - so I never got to go, 2) The escape room was filled up on the first day so I didn't get to try that and (the real reason that I only gave 4 stars) Embarkation day was a nightmare for us. My elderly mother needed a wheelchair to get on board and we ended up sitting in a freezing cold room for two and a half hours waiting on one. There was approx. 20-30 other people waiting as well. It was a really bad start to our vacation. Royal Carribean knows how many people have reserved chairs in advance, so I can't understand why they weren't prepared for all the handicap/elderly people trying to board.
But...I really loved it and I can't wait for my next one. Sadly my mother and step father have both said that they are never going to cruise again :-(
