If you use the Spa, make them give you the final cost at the time you book. They say you are getting a discount when you book multiple treatments, but when the bill comes, it doesn’t look like you received a discount. Also gratuity is included in the cost, something they failed to mention to us. This they received a very nice gratuity.

If you are interested in shore excursions, hold off until you dock, then shop the various vendors that wait near the debarcation area. You'll save quite a bit over what you'd pay through Royal Caribbean. You'll also be helping out the locals more, since they would not have to share their fares with RC.

If you must cruise on this ship, get a balcony room. Don't get a room overlooking the promenade because they play loud music until midnight and many guests don't open their windows because rooms directly across can see clearly into your room.

Whatever the time is an hour before the crack of dawn, get up then to get a chair on the pool deck or you won't get one all day.

I recommend you get a cabin close enough to Deck 11 that you can use the stairs most of the time, since the elevators are often rather busy.

It was fun & easy going but the WiFi was horrible- Don't bother to pay extra for it- It doesn't work whatsoever- complained but they didn't care.

you need a balcony to enjoy all the minute by minute views. Buy the food package and skip the beverage package and Definitely don’t buy the internet package because it does not work in your room and really only works right next to the router on the 5th floor.
