Review summary
Very fun, lots to do not enough time to do it all. 6k+ people onboard & didn't feel crowded. Some people were oblivious or just plain rude with elevators or in general so mind your feet and bodyparts. We forgot to make time to just relax & do nothing.Embarkation
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
Solarium Bistro
The best place for a quick & uncrowded breakfast and lunch. Reservations can be made for a sit-down dinner with no fee.
Windjammer Marketplace
Lots of options and different stations. If you require almond milk or soy milk you should ask at one of the buffet stations.Usually crowded.
Mini Bites
convinient
Izumi
it's more of dinner and a show in the Hibachi and there's also a separate sit-down dinner
Onboard Activities
Running Track
Very large, open to the ocean with a ceiling and encouraging signs overhead
Vitality at Sea Spa and Fitness Center
By far the BIGGEST spa at sea. Some services were open and not private but the massages were definitely private. Thermal suites were not worth the $199 per couple charge to be able to use it daily. We had no time. However, it has been the ONLY op-ed sauna, and steam room (thermal suite) at sea we have seen.
Workshop
Convention center, very accomadatinf but a bit noisy as it might have been next to the kitchen
Royal Promenade
gorgeous but always crowded
Entertainment
Solarium
relaxing at night, busy during the day
Royal Theater
Very big and high-tech theater, amazing productions
Aquatheater
Very good show
Aquatheater
EXCELLENT SHOW! Even though I was scared for the performers

Ship tip
DON'T over book your activities. With that said: Make reservations to shows on your cruise planner as soon as you are allowed. Usually it's 90 days before your cruise. If you forgot, make your reservations on the 'RoyaliQ kiosk areas as so ok n as you board. Arrive 15-20 minutes early to those reserved shows to get the best seats. Also, eat at the solarium bistro for a quick buffet style breakfast or lunch, it's always less crowded than the windjammer. They also have a daily buffet sit-down lunch in the main dinning room.
