This was my second cruise first on Royal Caribbean (First was on Carnival, on Elation out of Galveston 2 years ago). I went with the same people on this ship that I went on my first ship. I am a single male, 27 years of age. I live in Chattanooga, TN.

We decided to not do shore excursions because we are on vacation and we don't want to feel rushed.

My cruise rating overall would be a 9.5 (out of a possible 10). We arrived in Galveston on Sunday morning (we drove from Chattanooga) and had a short wait to get on the ship (customs officers were on the ship). Once aboard (approximately 1:20 p.m.) we had to wait till 1:30 to be able to go to our rooms. We then went to the windjammer (9.8) to get something to eat. The luggage arrived to my room in time to get ready for supper. The dining hall (9.9) was just about perfect the entire trip. Read more
