Getting on the Ship: No Problems at all! We used the on line check in system and all went smoothly. We arrived at about 11AM and self parked for $10/day. We were in our cabin at about 12:45PM. They tell you that your room will not be ready until 1PM but if you venture down to you room it maybe sitting there waiting for you way before then. If you like to drink sodas, get the all you can drink package for about $50. They give you a nice Coca-Cola/Royal Caribbean sealable and thermal cup. It worked out great for me since I drink so many sodas. This is only offered the first day.
The Food: I'm kind of hard on the rating of the food, but I have an advanced palate:) I'm use to eating at fine dining places like Capital Grill, Ruth Chris's and other places around the country. If the best restaurant you have ever been too did not have a white table cloth, then you will like the food. If you are a fine dinning eater like my self you will think its ok and nothing to really write home about.
