Overall the cruise and ship were fantastic! We are already thinking of where we would like to go on our next cruise. Due to my husband's disability we may opt for a midsize ship next time. I would definitely recommend this cruise!

We had an accessible balcony cabin. It was spacious, immaculate, and service was fantastic!

Ship tip

The ship is huge! It was our first cruise and many people said that the lines were longer than the lines at smaller ships. We were very satisfied .

Ports of call

Port Canaveral, Florida

We went to the Magic Kingdom. We were a bit disappointed in the length of time we had there. According to information on the ship we were going to be there until 7 but in reality we had to leave at 6. 4 hours is a short time to visit the park. Originally when we booked online they said 12:30 to 9:00. We were happy that we didn't spend the extra money to visit 2 parks considering the short amount of time we were there...2:00 to 6:00

Cococay (Cruise Line's Private Island) Did not visit port

It was the captain's call that the weather wasn't good enough. This was the big disappointment on the whole cruise. We were all looking forward to this more than any other stop!

We were scheduled for Atlantis Excursion which was accessible according to when I booked it online. However we found when we were in line that they would not put my husband's fold down scooter in the bus due to the transportation company's regulations. We ended up taking a private van tour of Nassau and Paradise Island. Royal Caribbean immediately refunded our excursion money !

we took an early departure and carried our own luggage. It took us a little over an hour to get from the ship to the parking garage. Happy we did it that way to avoid waiting.

I can't wait to go back.

A beautiful large ship, but not one for peak season cruising.

Good Experience for first time Cruisers
