Review summary

The ship is one of the Voyager class ships and I do not think you can get much better for wow factor than this bad boy. If you don't like waling, pick a smaller boat. If you enjoy all the activities, basketball, golf, rock climbing etc.. then this is your ship. We had a full passenger load and other than the first day, I never thought the ship was crowded. The cabins are a good size with adequate balcony space. This is my 5th sailing with RCCL and I had higher expectations of the staff and food based on prior sailings. Let me say that just because one ship did not exceed expectations does not mean that RCCL is a bad line. All ships vary in experience and knowing this I would say we still had a great time but we had a few disappointing issues mostly related to the dining room. Fortunately, we were able to eat at Chops and Johnny Rockets most of the time and the food/staff/service was excellent there so it more than made up for the problems in the dining room.
