My husband and I have cruised many other times on several different lines; however, this was our first experience on RCCL Having just cruised this past March on the Norwegian, Epic, and not enjoying our cruise at all, we were so excited to have our spirits lifted once again with this fabulous cruise/vacation.
The minute you board the ship, you are captivated by the elegance she offers, its grandeur and impeccably maintained appearance. The food was 4 to 5 stars. Service in the dinning room as well as on the entire ship was top notch. They allow you to bring on two bottles of wine at boarding and don't charge you a corkage fee if consume in your room. However, it is not a issue if you pour yourself a glass before you go to the dinning room (no fee applies for that). Pool area very nice. If your traveling without children, you should check out the Solarium Pool. Adults only swim - with nice cushions on the lounge chairs. Great gym with sauna room. Deck 4 has lounge chairs available to use if you want to get away from the crowds around the pool but still catch some sun (or shade) and peace and quite. Can't say enough positive things about this ship. We are definitely going to do it again. Royal Caribbean is our new cruising line for sure.
We had an outside cabin with an ocean view that had sufficient space with very comfortable sleeping conditions (except the pillows - but I'm real fussy about that). We liked the fact that sink in the cabin was contained in the bathroom. We've been on other ships where this was not the case. However, there was not electrical outlet in the bathroom for a hairdryer (shaver only - and really, who even uses them anymore)
