Review summary

Food was good. Dining room staff very helpful. i thought there was too many people on this ship. No chairs when trivia was on, no loungers by the pool and no seats in the windjammer for meals. We took most of our meals back to our cabin to eat them. Overall we had a good time but we have been put off going on ships with a huge passenger capacity. Extra charges to go onto Darwin Brisbane and kuala lumpur. That was unexpected as we have always had a free shuttle bus into town on our other cruises.

I did the Syd to Singapore the charges were for the shuttle. You can. Walk into Darwin. I think it was around $US for Brisbane. The problem with the lounges are that selfish cruises save the lounges early in the morning then just lob up later in the day. Beautiful ship but if you don't like heap of people go on a smaller ship

Think of your last trip to the shopping mall so this is what it is like 5000 people wandering around the boat trying to find a seat as the only outdoor seats around the swimming pool which sits about 100 so everybody is walking round and round and round t

Fourth Cruise with Royal Caribbean.

something for everyone
