Better than we anticipated

Since neither of us had ever been on a cruise we were not exactly sure what to expect. Our stateroom was in the middle of level 4, which meant no windows or port holes to look out. Actually it was great because it was quiet in that part of the ship at night and the rooms without any view of the outside are less expensive. The crew was always friendly and helpful, and our rooms were cleaned or straightened up twice a day. The food was fabulous, and the variety was such that we were able to enjoy a different flavor each meal. We don't drink and we did not even purchase a soft drink package, but there was plenty of water, iced tea, lemonade, coffee or juice each meal at the buffet. We did not quite understand the "My Time" dining right away and missed out on the formal dinner in the "My Fair Lady" dining room, but enjoyed two dinners there after that. (Both the buffet in "The Windjammer" and the dinner in "My Fair Lady" are included in the cruise fare.) The excursion to Blue Lagoon Island was great because we had the opportunity to relax on a relatively uncrowded beach. We also took the excursion to go snorkeling while on Coco Cay Island (Royal Caribbean's private island) which was a great experience. The tropical fish and coral colors there were not quite the same as I experienced in Hawaii but beautiful, nonetheless. The crew of the excursion boat was very friendly and helpful. The only frustrating part of the cruise was the immigration process when returning to the U.S. in Key West, and then when disembarking in Miami. It  felt a bit unorganized, but getting that many people through customs in a short amount of time is always a challenge. Some more clear instructions or explanation of the process could have been helpful. (Figuring out where the lines were supposed to start or end, and exactly when our group was supposed to go was a bit confusing.) The daily cruise instruction sheets the crew left in our stateroom each evening explaining the next day's activities were very helpful. As far as what RC could to do make it better?   Perhaps turn up the temp in the hot tubs a degree or two, and turn down the temp of the ice cream machine a degree or two...hardly major problems, but when your ice cream falls off the cone because it is melting when it comes out of the machine, it makes it difficult to carry it to your spouse who is anxiously waiting for a cool treat! (My wife would say the AC in the ship was generally too cold, but she would probably say that about most venues.) We weren't looking for a million things to do, but there were more activities on the ship available than we could have completed if we tried--something for everyone.
