Review summary

As a first cruise, this was everything we could wish for. We were a part of a group of 55 women scrapbooking in the conference room; the trip was arranged by Mel Kenedy from Unmistakeable Creations. We had plenty of time to scrapbook, sight see and use the ships facilities. We would not hesitate to recommend Royal Caribean or Unmistakeable Creations.

I was surprised at the space, it was very spacious and had more than adequate storage. The bathroom was well laid out.

Explore; I didn't get around the whole ship until almost the last day. The staff are wonderful.
