My wife and I were comparing this ship to Princess cruises since that has been our primary cruise line for sailing for most of our lives. The last Princess sailing we were slightly disappointed but we felt it was better than what we experienced on Royal Caribbean. Many pros and cons to each vessel. I think we will try celebrity next and if it doesn’t prove to be better we will return to Princess

Ship Quality
3 out of 5
Starting to show significant signs of age. Ie rust. Cigarette smoke was prevalent in the main pool and flowed into surrounding areas
Cabin / Stateroom
3 out of 5
Cabin design is great but the mattress is very hard and the toilet smells musty
We also smelled a neighbor smoking cigarettes on the balcony which was very disappointing. Eventually the staff dealt with it
Ship tip
Quit the heavy effort to upsell the fine dining and dock the ships in a more convenient berth so we needn’t take a pay shuttle to reach the terminal exit
