Review summary

I enjoyed the cruise it was very relaxing. I appreciate it the fact that when the captain made announcements that there were limited to the hallways only and not in your stateroom. The staff was very attentive to my needs and very friendly always smiling.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

I had a great time on my first cruise. I was very impressed with the size of the ship and the many things that it had the offer. The only problem I had with the cruise was that I wasn't able to get the juices I wanted from the different restaurants that were available after hours and the drinks (sodas) . I thought that the excursions that Royal Caribbean had to offer were overpriced as well. The crew treated us very well and cater to every need. That will definitely take a cruise again but we'll look for better pricing on amenities.

Glad you enjoyed your first cruise. Unfortunately, most cruise lines don't offer free sodas. The ones that do absorb the cost into the price of the cruise and therefore their prices are higher. Some lines such as Carnival allow you to bring on a case of sodas per person. Their soda package is also a little cheaper than RC.
