We are from Topeka, Kansas. This was our tenth cruise, the sixth consecutive on Royal Caribbean. The earlier ones were to the Baltic in 2011 and New England/Canada in 2012, on the Jewel; the Mediterranean and Panama both on the Brilliance; and on the Oasis in 2010.
We, as anyone should, cruise for the destination (Australia and New Zealand), so from that perspective, the cruise was certainly an enjoyable success and worth the trip. There were other aspects that were not so good.
The Ship itself.
