Review summary

This New Years cruise was wonderful,relaxing and fun for myself and 4 adult kids. The ship is immaculately clean, the food delicious and the service 4 star. There was always something to do for our varied age groups and my son won $ 550 in a poker tournament, which made his trip !

I cannot recommend Royal Caribbean enough, this is my 2nd cruise with them and it was truly excellent in every way ( and being in the hospitality business I am a harsh critic ! ).
