Sorry it is over.
Really loved the ship, it is going to make it difficult to take a cruise that is not at least 7 days since the 9 days went by so fast. I would recommend this ship and especially Royal Caribbean to anyone.

Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
The main dining room was excellent. Really the best place for all meals, breakfast, lunch and dinner. Our dinner server staff was excellent and very attentive.
The Windjammer, the food was not at the level of the main dinning room. The service was good but the eating areas didn't feel as clean. Worst was the fact that in many incidents, other guests would sneeze on the food or handle the food in a dirty way or the kids would "contaminate" the food. Better to eat in the main dinning room for all means.
The specialty restaurants were excellent. The Chops steakhouse was very good. But the Wonderland Restaurant was unique and the best dinning experience I have ever had. I highly recommend the Wonderland.
Onboard Activities
5 out of 5
My kids really liked the SeaPlex, what an amazing place. All the activities, the foosball, pingpong ball, soccer, rollerskating, bumpercars, and the other activities, awesome. I could hardly get my boys out of there.
I think the pools are too small, when full, they look like a "stew pot" of people. I love your fitness center, definately one of the best for cruiseships, a mini La Fitness, awesome. My boys liked the rock-climbing wall and the flowrider. We all liked the iFly, Juan was excellent.
Entertainment
5 out of 5
Really like the last show, the comedian was really funny. Liked MO5AIC, liked Rock Away and really like the game shows.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Our waiter, Amir was attentive and so was his assistant waiter (sorry don't remember his name but he is from the island of St. Vincent). Our dinner was in the Chic. All of the waiters in the Grand where we had breakfast and lunch were excellent and very attentive.
Everyone was very attentive.
Our Room Steward was OK. Many times I had to chase her down to get towels or shampoo. I have had much better Room Stewards on other cruises.
Ship Quality

I like this ship over the other cruise ships that I have experienced.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
I really liked the cabin. My only complaint was that I booked it as a suite and I was told at the time of booking that since it was a suite we would get the perks of the suite, with special seating at shows and the private island and dinning. We got nothing, I did get embarrassed by constantly getting turned down at all of those venues. I don't understand since the suites are all smaller and the biggest only holds up to 4 while the one I had was for 5 persons and it wasn't cheap. It was a suite based what it said on my SeaPass. I was disturbed, because when at the time of reservation to say I get the perks of a suite and then it wasn't true is fraudulent on the part of Royal Caribbean.
The cave tour was awesome. The aquarium and the zoo, seen better. I would recommend the beach, would have done the beach, it was a hot day and the beach looked great. We had a fantastic tour driver, even though we were only suppose to do cave, aquarium and zoo, he took us to see a beach, the lighthouse and a general tour of the island. He made the tour outstanding.
Did the helmet dive, family really enjoyed it. The tour group is not pushy about buying their video or pictures and are willing to use your camera to take picture of you. Not as good as Scuba but for my family, only I do Scuba so for them this was great and the group that ran the tour made it so.
Did the Viva Beach Club. The beach was excellent. My only complaint was the "included food". It had pork in it so we couldn't each it. All we got were sides and dessert. It would have been excellent if we could have actually gotten the lunch we paid for since the tickets were very pricey. They were not willing to substitute anything for us to make up for not being able to eat the pork and rice main meal.
Wendy45 don't let anything you read stress you out you will love it there always has to be some out there that just want to grip just book your entertainment as soon as you can and enjoy oh yeah take two swim suits they don't dry to fast in your room so buuurrr lol
