Review summary

What we enjoyed most was the shore excursions and how other couples and staff were personal and friendly.  What we least enjoyed was the lack of items in our stateroom such as a second chair and refrigerator.  Without the chair it made making use of room service difficult and without a refrigerator there was no place to keep wine and drinks cold.  The fact that on most of the decks you had to go up and down levels to get from one end of the ship to the other made it difficult.  WE also believe that muster station drill was not well planned.  We were required to wait on a crowded deck and in the hot sun for a longer period of time than normal. I say normal as we are Diamond level at Royal Caribbean and have never been put through something like that.

A kinda weird tip but don't show up until right when it says the muster station drill is supposed to start. We made the mistake of getting there 10-15 minutes before it started and had to stand so long in the heat. If you don't show up until right on time you won't have to stand as long and can sometimes even get a seat inside as they won't have room outside.
