This cruise will be from the perspective of a 30 year old. I have to caveat it that way because I find that a lot of cruisers are much older than me and may not find my review perspective accurate for their age category. I will however try to provide as much detail as I can to help paint an accurate picture of everything I observed during my trip. I've cruised five times before this cruise and they all have been with Royal Caribbean

Embarkation:

We showed up to the pier at 1130 and were on the ship by noon. Best embarkation experience to date. They have a very effective system to get you through each gate effectively. If you have all of your paperwork ready you will spend 50% of the time it takes getting your sea pass account set up. Beware of the embarkation photographers when you board if you don't like your photo being taken. What they tend to do is after you are processed at guest services take your sea pass card to "help" your find the entrance to the ship but will pass it to the photographers who will set you up in a photo area and take your picture. Luckily for me I noticed it early and evaded those people. Once you get onboard and are looking for a place to eat each one of them is a safe bet. My wife and I went to Park Café up on deck 8 to eat but windjammer and some other places are just as good and available depending on what time you get there. We got there around 12 and it seemed everyone had already eaten so there weren't long lines or crowded seating areas.
