Anniversary Celebration

We celebrate our Anniversary every year cruising and Royal Caribbean is our favorite.  Embarkation in Ft. Lauderdale is one of the easiest to maneuver through and the staff are some of the friendliest. We have found waiting until later to get there makes it easier and quicker and there seem to be no lines. We have never been disappointed in the food whether it is in the Windjammer daily for lunch, ordering room service for Breakfast or a late night snack, or our evening meals in the Dining Room which always have several excellent choices to choose from.  Our only issue we had on this cruise when requesting a table for two for dining in the evening was the Head Maitre D on this cruise was not the friendliest or accommodating and was actually very rude.  We did receive one, but not without some issues and being bumped from it without warning on the final Elegant night without apology to be moved back to it the final evening.  Things we would highly recommend for cruising is taking advantage of ordering online on the Royal Caribbean sight things you may want to do or use.  We took advantage of ordering our internet package ahead of time and it was ready to use the minute we stepped onboard.  Another purchase ahead of time was the Alcohol package which was a huge savings and they have three to choose from, this also includes the Soda package and the upper two packages also include water as well.  Last, we highly recommend taking advantage of the Valet Luggage and Airline Check In.  Huge time saver at Disembarkation.  It has to be set up before Wednesday of the cruise.  The cruise staff takes your luggage the morning of Disembarkation to the Airport for you, checks it in at your airline so all you have to do is leave the ship, walk through the security checkpoint on the ship to your taxi and go straight to the airport and then through security there to your flight.  Huge, huge, huge time saver without the headache of finding your luggage the morning you leave and waiting in the lines at the cruise terminal.
