The Good and Wonderful:
The embarkation process was flawless; quick and no hassles. The room was ready when we boarded so we did not have to lug the carry-ons to lunch. The entertainment and shows were fantastic. Loved each and everyone of them. We loved the fact that we had everything scheduled and reserved before we got on the ship and when we checked in we got a schedule for the whole week that told us day by day what the dress codes were, etc. and even had a place to write down the times our shows and dinner times were each day. Really a great idea! We still got our daily bulletins for detailed happenings by the hour.
All the personnel we encountered were pleasant and very helpful and our wait staff for dinner were wonderful. We asked for Robin every night and were lucky to have him five nights out of seven. Very good service with a good flow; did not feel rushed nor did not have to wait.
Cabin Review
When we got to our room, I was totally amazed at having enough hangers in the closet for both myself and my husband! Believe me, this was a first. We also loved the air conditioning system in our room. We could turn it down to sleep without a blast of cold air blowing directly at our bed and on our heads. The bad part of the room was the bathroom. So small. If you are average size or above with bad knees so you can't stoop straight down - don't drop the soap in the shower - if you do, you will take out the doors with your fanny. :-) I did like the fact that there was a short bar to prop your foot up so you could wash your legs and feet without taking out the doors. LOL. The sliding shower doors were great for the reason that the water stayed in the shower. The worse part of the shower was the water was always hot, hotter or scalding. I like a warm shower and cool water to rinse my hair. No matter which direction I turned the handle it was hot or hotter. Another complaint was the in-room safe; small and you had to pry it open. The beds and pillows were comfortable and for once the reading light on either side of the bed was actually bright enough for you to see the pages. Great job there, RCCL! The sofa was very comfortable, also and a nice sized TV. Our cabin steward, Raul, was great.
