Review summary
This was our 8th cruise on Royal Caribbean and one of our best. From the check in process to the amenities on the ship the cruise everything was fantastic. Since we had 4 sea days we really appreciated the new activities from jewlery making, dodge ball, tournaments, fitness programs, murder mystery, and spa treatments. In addition the casino had some evenings that were smoke free. I'd love if it the entire ship had been, but there were several areas that were designated smoke free from one part of the deck by the pool, to areas in the lounges. This was also our first year with a balcony and we loved waking up to the sound of the waves in the mornings. The rooms aren't any bigger, but the balcony definitely gives you an extra area to stretch out and relax. My only complaint would be that they no longer have internet service available in the cabins, and the internet service in the cafe is slow, unpredictable, and very costly. I had to use the internet daily for my business and ran up charges of almost $200 dollars over the 10 days. The internet cafe is also located near the centrum and was virtually never quiet to work in. I reallly preferred it when we could use the internet in our cabins.Ship experiences
