We were very excited to take a cruise with our family. We have done Disney in the past which we loved and Carnival which we did not love. Thought we would try Royal Caribbean.

Embarkment was a little slow but we did arrive at 12:30 when everyone else did. no problems getting on board. Our rooms were ready when we did so we dropped our stuff and headed to lunch. Had a great buffet at the windjammer had no problem finding a seat for all 11 of us.

We then went to explore the ship. Beautiful is all I can say. It was fun to go see what there was on this massive ship. They have navigators everywhere you go so you can easily find you way around. Also, you can see what is going on at any time of the day at a push of a button. The promenade on deck 5 was beautiful. lots of shops and cafe and pizza place are here as well. I liked that you could walk from one end of the ship to the other on this deck. Nice size casino on deck 4 but very smokey in there. There is also a game room with lots of games and room to play cards on deck 12. Read more
