This was out second cruise, previously cruised with Royal Caribbean. We were just looking for a short getaway without our kids. Even though there were some unfavorable reviews, we went in with an open mind. Embarkation and disembarkation were quick and really did not have any waiting time.
The ship is older, very purple, but it was clean, We had an OV Aft room and our room attendant kept it clean and always had a smile and greeted us. We spent a lot of time on the Serenity deck and it was very nice. One of the jacuzzi's was closed off by the second day which was unfortunate. Not sure what was wrong with it, but the other one stayed busy and was full of guests all day. The regular pool and jacuzzi areas were always busy, but there was always an available chair when we wanted one.
The shows were good, the Punchliner Comedy was just okay. The comedian was slurring his words and it was only the 11pm show. He kept pushing for everyone to buy a beverage. The Far From Over show with the singers and dancers was great! Don't miss that one if you are going.
M269 OV Aft, nice view, but right by the crew rooms. A bit noisey during the day, but quiet at night. Room was older and carpet showed some wear. Bathroom was clean. Would choose this room and location again.
