Review summary

Royal Caribbean has really upped their game on the entertainment. The comedian was really good, the ice skating show was amazing and the Broadway production of Grease was incredible! Promenade show iwas lots of fun and very upbeat.

Service was wonderful all around the ship.

Captain docked the ship without so much as a bump.

Almost all the food in the main dining room was tasty. Specialty restaurants food & service is like being in an upscale NY restaurant.

We found the choices at the Windjammer unappealing. The main dining room (except for the first night) & specialty restaurants were very good though

Never encountered a single crew member with anything but a smile. Our cabin steward kept our room immaculate at all times. Our waiter and assistant waiter were extremely accommodating.

Cabin / Stateroom

Cabin was terrific. Loved waking in the morning to the ocean view from our balcony. My only complaint is that with all the electronics everyone has these days we need more than one double outlet. I brought an adapter with me for additional outlets and USB ports but couldn't use it because the only outlet is too close to the desk.
