first off just want to start by saying this is not my first cruise with Royal Caribbean. Have sailed their smaller ships leaving out of Florida. First time leaving from Cape Liberty.

O.K. So everything seemed to be going great. Parking lot is right by ship. Dropping your luggage off with porters looked more confusing then it actually was. After dropping luggage off then off to park car. After parking car you can take a shuttle from the parking lot back to the tent so that you can go through security and set up your sea pass account. By the time we caught the shuttle to the ship is was about 1 hour after we got to the pier.

So this is where my review takes a quick negative moment. So your rooms are not ready to after 2 pm. Which means that You can either go to windjammer or go up to the pool decks. Well the day we left the weather was so bad. Cold, off and on rain. Which means you are stuck going up to the windjammer till your cabin is ready. My problem with that is very simple. Just think how many people are on the ship the windjammer is not that big, besides you have mostly everyone saying tables so that makes it even harder to find some where to eat and enjoy your food. I did go on this cruise with my older parents both in late 60s. Some days is was so hard to find a table we would take food out to sit by the pool. NOT HELPFUL.... Read more
