Background
We are a married couple in our late 30's. This was our 7th cruise having sailed with RCCI, Disney, NCL and Princess. We have sailed in suites, oceanviews, balconies and interior staterooms and recently decided that if it means we can sail more often we will stick with the interior rooms. This was our 2nd cruise with RCCI.
Embarkation
Excellent location on deck 8. I really like that the interior rooms on deck 8 are in hallways that run perpendicular to the main hallway. It made the main hallway to never be crowded with people trying to get into their interior room while someone else was trying to get in their balcony room. It was very quiet even though it was directly below the pool. The only thing missing was a small fridge.
