Met some enjoyable cruisers. Overall experience was OK. Probably won't do Royal Caribbean again. The Any Time Dining was fine unless we wanted to share a table with another couple. We were always seated with additional folks we didn't know. Service most nights was excellent. 2 nights were spotty at best. Music at pool was boring. Alcohol prices higher than most with fewer discount options than other cruise lines. The cruise line seems to prefer to handle Key Club and Elite guests, who appear to be a significant percentage of cruisers. Stage shows were very good. Had to hunt for lively music at night.

superior fitness center. Pool side music boring. Not a fan of video at poolside. In-door pool better option.
Entertainment

Ship tip
If you want to sit by the pool and listen to good music, rather than watch videos all day, pick a different ship.
Went of river cruise to see crocodiles. The excursion changed itinerary and resulted in having us over pay for the reduced itinerary. Cruise personnel were not helpful in repricing trip.
