My family and I just returned from the 7 night Voyager of the Seas cruise to the Western Caribbean. If you go on a cruise to be pampered (as I do) then this was a very good cruise. I would give it an B++ overall, not an A, as you can tell from our experience.
We flew into Miami the morning on the cruise and arrived very early, so we did have the problem of what to do until embarkation. With all our luggage we didn't feel we had much choice, and went directly to the pier. We had a very long wait, but what was what we choose.
Embarkation took too long, as we waited in line after line to get on the ship. We thought Royal Caribbean could do a better job checking people in, getting passes made and going through security. We had out Set Sail paperwork prepared and printed at home, so this must have saved some time! Getting keys made for each other cabins took an extremely long time.
