Pool chairs are saved by groups, regardless of what they say about prohibiting it. Same with seats in the theater. Get to both early. And smoke in the casino was disgusting- they need a better air filtration system- the stink rose up to the Promenade.

We had dinner in the Magelan Dining Room. The food was excellent. Our waiters were Martin and Christian. They were wonderful guys.

Do not buy room 6111 - noisy, door to connected room - you can hear each word. Get your beach towels for private beach day before. We could not get them on day of stop - waiting time was 45!!!!!!!! minutes!

Did not have to wait in long lines to be seated for breakfast in the Windjammer area. At least when you sat down to eat the breakfast was still hot.

If you like a more "couple-type" experience, don't go in the middle of the summer on this ship. However, still very nice and had a great time. The ice show as outstanding.

Ask for Luke as your head waiter and Kenger as you asst. waiter. You will have a smile on your face every night for dinner.

It will save you about an hour of time everyday if you skip dessert at the main dining and have it at the buffet with even more selections.

Eat breakfast in the dining room! It is the best food, wonderful service, and not very busy! The deck on the 12th floor is secluded and quiet and you can sit on the outside aisle and watch the ocean go by! The "quiet pool" was often busy and crowded and not much in the sun.

The ice show was definitely worth going to. We also enjoyed the café on the fifth level several times. If you are just looking for something light or just a beverage and cookies or other dessert - free - this is the place to go.

Look for alternate elevator lobbies to the port and starboard sides. Some don't run as frequently and you just go to the other alcove to get one. Make sure to see rge Royal Caribbean dancers and singers show and the Ice Show. Plan ahead and get your excursions off the ship lined up..This is a must.
