Review summary

Loved the ship, easy to get around. We did not stop in Cartagena, but Aruba was great. Have been on many New Years cruises & this one lacked the decorations ;etc that Royal Caribbean did on others before: No decorations on outside deck; so we went to the Centrum for the countdown…only a few balloons, kind of disappointing. Still a good cruise

Breakfast buffet was good, but no cheddar it spinach for omelets. Lunch was good but some items found on other lines like tacos it taco bar would be good. Ice cream was only available 11:30-3 pm, then later at dinner:
