Review summary

This was a great cruise to relax on. Enough sea days to really get to know the ship and relax. Shows were fun. Ice skating show was spectacular with 1st class costumes. Could have watched it over and over. Rooms were nice, though balconies were smaller than expected. The ones on Royal Caribbean are larger. Would definitely recommend this cruise and would go again myself.

Erky from Turkey was great. A big loss that he has left to train to be a private pilot.

Room size was good. Balcony a little small. Carpet and sofa really need to be replaced. Lots of bad stains.

Ship tip

Promande Cafe is great place to meet up with your group. Since we got stuck with early dining, no one ever really wanted lunch. The small ham and cheese croissant and a cookie made a perfect afternoon snack. Their pizza and other sandwiches were also good. Great place for people watching, too.
