Window view was a bit small and the room a bit crowded for 4 people, but otherwise, it was good. Nanang did a great job keeping the room clean and neat.

HI It was great to hear you enjoy your cruise! We just took our very first cruise on the Carnival Freedom to the Western Caribbean and had a good time but didn't enjoy the crowd though and days at sea with so many people and not enough to do. We are considering the Alaska cruise for next year taking our two teens with my elderly parents in their early 80s. From your experience, is there enough to do on the ship for the teens and elderly? Is there enough seatings for breakfast and lunch as we seem to have to fight for our table during our Carnival cruise which was quite stressful. As for the main deck for activities, is the pool covered and warm enough for swimming and as well as watching movies at night since this is an Alaska cruise? Is the embarkment at the Seattle port quick and easy? Did you book the excursions directly thru Royal Caribbean or on your own? Any recommendations? Thanks in advance for your help!
