Just came across a review of this cruise from someone who had problems and I wanted to add a bit of balance. WE HAD A WONDERFUL CRUISE. Although both of us have cruised numerous times with various lines, this was our first (but certainly not last) transatlantic and, I must admit, we are a bit biased, as Royal Caribbean is definitely our favorite way to cruise.

With that said, however, we would be hard pressed to find anything about which to complain. Every member of the staff that we met was professional and oh, so, friendly (with a special "well done" to Harry for keeping our room spotless and working around our random schedule) and the ship was clean and well-maintained. "HelloClo" was my first experience with a female cruise director and she was great. Not only was she happy and positive and funny but, watching her make her way around the ship, it was amazing to see how good she was with people. Despite a schedule that would have sent most of us "over the edge", she ALWAYS seemed to take time to visit and answer questions without seeming in a rush. That's a talent!

We had traditional style dinner and loved our tablemates and our servers. If there are better waiters/servers than Gabriel and Jeremy, I have yet to meet them. We felt like we were THE most important people in the dining room each and every night. Constantine completely blew away our previous opinion that the maitre d' is useless. We loved his visit to our table each night and are developing a TV reality show entitled "Constantine, the Constant Cruiser" for him! . Read more
