Review summary

All in all it was great. Do I like the hugeness of ship? It took some getting use to. Would I do it again, yes. I really prefer smaller ships from 1800 to 3000 passengers, but really had a great time.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Everything was done ahead using royal Caribbean app. Went smooth as silk.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

The food was wonderful. No need to eat at specialty dining venues. Windjammer was great for breakfast. Staff was great

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

if I have any comments on this, its after 20 something years of cruising I've never had to make a reservation to see the show. Didn't like that. The smaller venues offered nothing for the older crowd to sit have a drink listen to music relax listen to piano until around 10:30 pm or later. Nothing good to watch on TV in her evenings...

Entertainment

Couldn't get into shows

Children's Programs

No children

Cabin / Stateroom

Everything was perfect except it could have been a tad wider...maybe just a foot..wish beds had been closer to balcony and not right next to bathroom.
