Review summary

All in all it was very good.  The only thing that I hate about cruises are the constant and annoying announcements over the intercom about meaningless watch sales, or bingo, or shopping seminars (all of which are usually in the compass anyway).  Even most of the captains announcements are about meaningless info like "nautical miles from here to there", current temperatures, wind speeds, blah blah blah.  I enjoy reading on the ship and talking to my friends and the announcements force me to stop reading or talking to wait til they are done.  Its very annoying. 

 

Also, the formal dinning has some of the same problems.  There is constant interruptions of interesting and enjoyable conversation with my table mates due to meaningless information from the wait staff.  Things like the "chefs choice selections" which are already printed on the menu so I don't need help having it reread to me.  And there are the 2 annoying song and dance parades on the last two evenings...again a big interruption to the evening.  I would like the wait staff to be more in the background and available if I have a question but not the focal point of the evening.  The wait staff and cabin attendants are great and wonderful people though and this is not a reflection of them so much as its a reflection or Royal Caribbeans expectations and demands that are put on the staff.
