Review summary
We had a great time and honestly there was so much to do that you will not get to do everything you want to do. We enjoyed the band in boleros and would go back again. This is only our second cruise but what an upgrade from the first time you went on a smaller Cruise Line. There is something for everyone on this ship whether you are athletic love dancing or just want to relax. The only thing I did not care much for on this cruise with the casino honestly I've just hate what slot machines have come to be, but maybe it's like that everywhere now. Will definitely do this again and I definitely trust Royal Caribbean for my vacation pleasure.Embarkation
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
Sorrento's Pizza
Took us a few days to figure out that this was included at no extra charge. We wish we would have known from the beginning, but there is a lot to learn about a ship and cruise. Not bad at all, hey it's free, so I'm not going to complain.
Boleros Lounge
Oh my God this was just the most fun we got so addicted to this place we were there every night. The Latino crowd is so fun-loving and the band Nuevo son was exceptional. Drinks were awesome and the band would just draw the crowd in the moment they started playing. Now at we are home we are definitely going to take it some dance lessons so we're not afraid to get on the floor for a little salsa. The only thing I was sad about was the final night of the cruise the band changed we went for one song and that was it. It's not that the band wasn't good it was just a whole different vibe having a pop band.
Fish & Ships
The fish and chips deal and the shrimp are such a great price and they were really excellent. You could not find that kind of quality for under $10 on shore.
Onboard Activities
Center Ice Rink
Was not expecting too much because of a smaller ice rink but they really did a wonderful job. Glad we made it to the show I would definitely recommend!
Entertainment
Jazz Club
Only got to see about 15 minutes of the jazz band but we did enjoy it. There is just so much to do it's hard to get everywhere.

Ship tip
We ended up on the 6th floor center of the ship with a Promenade View. That little window makes all the difference in the world with just a hair more room to not feel cramped. Also center of the ship is a very good place if you're worried about motion sickness. We were thrilled with our room walk down one floor and we are on the Promenade.
