Review summary
The embarking experience was excellent as well as the delivery of some of our baggage. My husband's baggage came as we were going to dinner--much too late of arrival. Food was very good as well as the service and attitude of our waiters. The background music which was played throughout the ship didn't interest us as we were not familiar with any of it. Just once a day it would have been nice to hear music from the 50's, 60's, even 70's. The entertainment was above average, but the production of CATS was really pretty bad. About 1/3 of the audience left at intermission. The loud speaker announcements were mostly not understood because of the accent of the person making them. We could tell that those of us over 70 were not catered to in any way; in fact, the noise of their continual loud music was annoying.
We did appreciate the room credits ($$) we received from as well as the specialty dinner at Chops. Royal Caribbean was used by me for at least five or more cruises, but I have to really think if it will be used again.
We would like a ship that sometimes have entertainment for the "over 60" crowd. We also always enjoyed dressing for formal nights. On this cruise the "formal dress" was merely a suggestion and not many guests paid any attention to it. We thank you for arranging this for us and realize that your organization had nothing to do with the ship's daily activities.

Ship tip
Pack casual clothes, and don't worry about formal night. A suit or sport jacket without tie is fine, and a smart casual attire is all that is needed by the ladies.
