Review summary
I have sailed Royal Caribbean for years and have always enjoyed them. I still believe they have the best food of the "mid price" cruise lines.
This trip was also very good to excellent overall but there were three "hitches" that I was very disappointed in.
First, the NY Strip Steak I had in the specialty grill restaurant was of poor quality, having a lot of gristle in the steak, not what you would expect when paying the additional fee. We also ate in Sabor, the Mexican restaurant, and the Italian restaurant and both were outstanding.
Second, there was a strong musty smell from the carpet in the corridor outside our stateroom where it was stained. I have never experienced this on Royal Caribbean before.
Third, and my biggest complaint, is that I really enjoy single malt scotch whiskys and Macallan 12 is a favorite. I specifically inquired if it was included in the top level beverage package, was assured it was, only to find out it had been removed from the ship two weeks before. Misrepresentation at best.

Board the ship early like we did and embarkation is a breeze.
