I chose this cruise for the price. We originally thought the cabin a bit small but it turned out to be all we needed. Everyone from the pier/port personnel to the wait staff to the cabin steward to the entertainers seemed to really enjoy their job which in turn made us enjoy the cruise. The ship was a little smaller & not as fancy as some but it ended up being one of our favorite cruises. We loved the song the dining room staff performed & The Crew International Parade of Flags. All of the entertainers were very good. My daughter loved the Michael Jackson trivia contest. The food in the dining room & our waiter and assistant waiter were the best ever (thanks Meikinson & Iketut). Most of the crew seemed young and had a lot of energy. Embarkation was fast and easy and debarkation wasn't too bad. I've never felt more welcome than on this cruise. This was my 7th cruise-my first with Royal Caribbean but not my last!
