Review summary

The ship was MUCH nicer than the only other cruise I have ever taken on a different cruise line. I would never have wanted to do another cruise after that first experience, but Royal Caribbean has given me a much better view of cruises. The staff is exceptional and the ship was easy to navigate although it could use far more elevators (we were with a mobility impaired person who simply couldn't use the stairs). We used the stairs exclusively because the elevators were packed with people and took forever and were HOT. Really that's the only thing I think could be improved upon. The rest was very enjoyable.

Nice - the quiet side was nice. I have no interest in the waterpark and avoided that entirely. Beach chairs are plentiful but crowded in too tightly. Nice quiet water for swimming.

nothing but the same shop merchandise repeated constantly and it was a bombardment of pushy people trying yelling at you constantly to buy something. Didn't enjoy it at all.
