Review summary

This was our first cruise celebrating our 33 years wedding anniversary, and we are so happy that it is with Royal Caribbean, I could not have picked a better ship to sail on. The crew kept the ship clean from top to bottom. All the shows were top notch and love Pavy and the Boogie Boys.

We were up at 7am to 1am every day and there was always someone cleaning in the elevator, stairs, everywhere we go they are cleaning. The ship’s design and layout are beautiful.
