Review summary

Some nice venues during the cruise, and some good entertainment (and some not so good).  The ship is obviously aging, but it is still reasonably well maintained.  We never did get an inside table in the Windjammer, and always had to find a spot outside.  This could certainly be improved.  Automatic gratuities are not appreciated - Royal Caribbean needs to pay its employees better, so that their passengers are not saddled with these add-on taxes.

Windjammer wait staff was usually too busy with something else to attend to their guests' needs.

Every cruise line went to automatically tipping ,but you can take it off. We have friends that were on Princess and services were so bad they had the charges removed.....
