This was our 15th cruise and there was fog on day of departure. A ship hit an oil barge spilling 160 gallons of oil into Galveston bay closing the port. Royal Caribbean kept us well informed with regards to port closings and delays. We boarded at midnight on Sunday. On Monday they told us the port would be closed and we would not be able to sail. After offering us a full refund, they told us we could stay as long as we wanted aboard the ship. On Tuesday the captain told us the port authorities would be opening up the port and we would sail on Wednesday. Royal Caribbean called all the passengers who had chose to leave and invited them back to finish the cruise as best they could. Awesome company!

The food was excellent and the ship was very clean. The crew was very friendly and pleasant during a very difficult time. Despite being faced with the possibility of not receiving the tips they had planned on earning, they were very professional and went out of their way to make the trip enjoyable.
