This was our first cruise with Royal Caribbean, and probably our last. We chose this cruise because of the itinerary. We really enjoyed our time off the ship. Our excursions were professional, very educational, and well worth the money; we really had a great time. The ship was a different story. The ship was tired and warn- out. We stayed on deck two and had to deal with a sewer smell in the stairwells and passageways most of the cruise. This ship was the most noisy I have experienced. A metal on metal banging sound at all times at night woke us up numerous times each night. The food was subpar at best. I never really expect much from buffets, but I do expect proper temperature and semi-fresh, not cold and dried out. The main dinning room's food was consistently poor. Service was a mixed bag. Our cabin attendant, waiters, and other staff were professional and did their best to make our stay enjoyable. If you needed help from the front desk don't worry about calling, because no one answers; also very undermanned. Spent over $300 for the slowest wifi on the planet, and it didn't work the entire time. Due to the excursions, we had a great time. The ship was not enjoyable.
The cabin has seen better days. Furniture was beat up and warn. Had our twin beds made into a king, but one side sagged much lower than the other side.
