Review summary

This is one of the nicest ships afloat today. It is laid out like many of the other RCL super ships but it is newer and has a more "modern" look. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. We've sailed "higher end" cruise lines and while those offer some amenities not found on this ship, I didn't find anything really missing here. Even though it is a big ship, it doesn't feel crowded. There are always places to go to get some peace and quiet if you want it. All in all, great cruise. Would highly recommend.

Embarkation

Extremely efficient at the Rome cruise terminal; our 3rd time leaving out of Rome and all have been extremely well organized.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Food was quite good and service was excellent. Look, it's hard to cook for 6000 people so not everything is perfect but it was as good or better than the other 24 cruises I've been on.

Onboard Activities

Lots of variety; well organized

Entertainment

Great comedians and the water show (Aqua Theatre) was fantastic!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Friendly and helpful. We had a few "special requests" (rebookings on shore excursion, private transportation, etc) and all were handled quickly and without problems.

Cabin / Stateroom

Wow. What a cabin. Lots of storage, great balcony, room to spread out. And the location (18th floor) is fantastic.
