Review summary
Our family really enjoyed this cruise! I admit as a travel agent I was a bit skeptical of the number of passengers on this ship as we are used to traveling with 3,500 or less passengers. We had never experienced this volume of passengers but Royal Caribbean did an outstanding job of creating spaces everywhere on this ship. It actually never felt crowded. There was just so much to see and do and the ship is so large. The entertainment was exciting and refreshing! We went several times to see some shows again because they were that good. There was never a line in the buffet. We rarely ever saw anyone in our hallway. We had no trouble at all disembarking at any port or embarking either. Its like they took all the feedback of past customers of all cruise lines and fixed everything! A big plus for me was no one soliciting beverage packages, squirting me with hand sanitizer (there was a mandatory hand washing area before entering the buffet) GREAT idea to have soap and sinks to wash your hands and real shower doors and not those flimsy curtains. We were really impressed with this ship. The service was really attentive. Surprising is how friendly and willing to chat the staff was. The staff was making sure we were satisfied and happy. Thank you, we loved the cruise!Embarkation

Ship tip
Keep you eyes open for fun pop up events around the ship. We especially loved the surprise of the piano player who was jamming in the elevator one evening. We rode the elevator for several songs. Good times.
