We had 7 cruisers, 2 teens, 2 young adults, 1 middle aged adult and two grandparents.From the time we set foot on the ship until the time we sadly left everyone had a fabulous time. All the meals in all the venues were excellent. We ate dinner every night in the My Fair Lady dining room and our servers, Joel and Mark, could not have been friendlier or more efficient. They were so funny and made us laugh throughout our meals which were always delicious and plentiful. We had 4 junior suites Our room steward was Joseph and he kept everything in perfect order and was always ready to help in any way. All the staff were friendly and helpful and it was such a pleasure to be around them. Yes the ship is old and there is some rust but everything was clean and in working order. There was entertainment for all of us to enjoy and the shore excursion in Cozumel was definitely a highlight. 5 of us went snorkeling and swimming in the Cenotes and had a wonderful lunch provided by the guide who was helpful and informative. The only negative experience was shopping in Cozumel. The shop keepers were so pushy and obnoxious we finally gave up and went back to the ship. This was our second cruise with Royal Caribbean and we would go again.
We had a cruise line provided bus from our hotel in Houston. Everything was easy when we got to the pier and we onboard the ship in a remarkably short time.
