Read my review and you cannot go wrong, especially the part of having the size cabin and a balcony in order to conveniently see the breathtaking views at a moments notice while in your stateroom.

Take advantage of the Luggage Valet service , at the end of the cruise they will take your bag to the airport and check it onto your flight and issue you a boarding pass. You fill out a 1 page form giving them your fight info and then the day before the cruise ends they deliver your boarding pass and one of those sticky tags to put around your bag's handle. All you have to do is put the tag on your luggage and leave it outside your door - then you don't have to worry about checking in at the airport, just go right to your gate . Royal Caribbean charges the cost (if your airline charges for a checked bag) to your room, but that's all you pay for, the service itself is free.

Prepare for temperature changes

Take advantage of the dining room and the opportunity to try new foods. If you really don't like something your waiter is happy to bring you something different.

If you pay upfront for a beverage pkg don't expect RC to put the cards in your cabin--don't expect RC to even tell you where to go to find them! Nope. Disappointing and disorganized. Go to the cafe and ask!! They have a veritable book with names and corresponding orders. I got a blank look, when I asked how I would know to ask at the cafe for my cards.

Make sure you read all the info about the ship before you book your flights.

Be aware that decks 1-3 are cut in half by few quarters and ice rink. This means that if you want to go from one end of the ship to the other, you need to go up to deck 4 or 5 then back down. The casino is on deck 4. Smell of cigarette is overwhelming. If using deck 4, go outside, otherwise go to deck 5 and the promenade. If you are an introvert, be aware a lot of the activities are very party-like and plan accordingly.

Do not stay on top of the ship too long if the wind is very strong and cold. You might catch cold.

Pay attention to your dinner reservation times and any conflicts you may have with scheduled on-board activities.

Just do it. Don't delay or procrastinate. Life's too short. You will not be disappointed.
