Cruising with my hubby and I were my DS, 22 and my DD 13. We were celebrating our 25th anniversary thus the reason we sailed in the Royal Suite. All I can say is, WOW!!!!!!! The RS is awesome. We received champagne and and towels made in the shape of doves and hearts. In the middle of the heart were red rose pedals. We also had a dozen red roses also and chocolate covered strawberries!! The space was amazing and I am truly spoiled. Our room attendant Sachi was excellent as it often looked like a tornado came through with my 2 kids there. Boarding was easy and was on board by noon or so. The windjammer though is too small as people have said for the amount of people on the ship. I also thought the pool area and gym are also too small for amount of people too. Probably one of my so-so areas of the cruise. We used the solarium mostly and the pool patrol made sure no children were present and kicked out those who were. Food in the dining room we thought was very good. My husband has Celiac Disease and we need to be very careful of what he eats. The staff, William. Anthony and Chris took excellent care of us and my DH had no trouble eating at all. We ate at Chops too and again, excellent service. The staff went out of their way to make sure everything was okay. We did a tour through Captain Marvin in Grand Cayman and it was awesome. Capt Marvin is 92 and he was our guide!!! It was a great day. Calm seas and beautiful weather. In Cozumel my daughter and I did a ship sponsored horse back riding tour. It was okay, but not worth the money. If you do it, bring bug spray!!! I wore Capri type pants and my lower legs are bit up pretty bad!!! They emphasize too much about "tipping" and "drinking" and I was tired of hearing it by the end of the tour. My husband did the souvenir shopping and stayed on board with my son!!! The shows were good, but not the activities. I just found that they do not do as much as they use to. My 22 yr old was bored and I did see alot of bars empty at 10 at night. We are use to bigger ships and were restless at times. The activities were just not as often as they have been in the past.Nor were things announced, except bingo and the art auction!!!Need to have more pool activities and things people can participate in during the day.

We love RCCL because of our experience with customer service. WE will sailed again with RCCL, but on a bigger ship.
