Review summary

This was our fourth cruise and our second on Royal Caribbean. We found the ship clean and well kept. Our room was the same. Our room attendant, Norma, was wonderful. The only real disappointment was the food in the Windjammer Cafe. It was not well cooked at all. The food in the dinning room and the specialty cafes was excellent as was the service. We didn't understand how there could be such a difference.

We had two complete days at sea but very short stops in Stockholm and Helsinki. Would liked to have longer shore time in both. All the port towns were amazing.

Room was small but clean and comfortable. Has a very large deck which we enjoyed with our friends. Slightly obstructed view but the size more than made up for it. Also very private. We enjoyed wine and cheese there every night.
