My family & I just got back today from a 5 day cruise from Cape Liberty Cruise Port (NJ) to Bermuda. This included me, my wife, & our 4 1/2 month old daughter. We arrived to the port a little early, anticipating a rush of people trying to cram themselves on the boat; but to my dismay, boarding the ship was a smooth task. Royal Caribbean had cookies & juice to drink while we waited. We proceeded to purchase our soda package. We found during our cruise that the bartenders were somewhat more eager to serve alcoholic drinks, that brought in a tip, before they would refill our canister that meant no tip. That was a little frustrating.
We booked a corner stateroom on the back of Deck 10. This is a Superior oceanview with a balcony. We found this room to be a good bit larger than a regular balcony room on the side of the ship. Our actual balcony was larger than what was listed online, which was very pleasing, seeing as we got a pack-n-play for the toddler.
The ship in all was very nice. We had a small problem with our toilet, which was fairly quickly eliminated. We also notice a couple of minor things that needed maintenance.
