This is our second cruise, the first to the Caribbean and second with Royal Caribbean. We are a couple age 48 travelling on our own. This is quite a lengthy review so here goes ......

Embarkation - we didn't find it too bad; we arrived around 12.20pm and were in our stateroom at 1.05pm. Perhaps we were lucky as others seem to have had a nightmare. We thought the porters in the tent area were a bit pushy, we didn't realize they also wanted a tip and had no change so it was a bit embarrassing - we just hoped they didn't lose our luggage,. Tip for next time -always carry lots of dollar bills.

CC / M&M - Our Cruise Critic friends made this cruise so special and not having participated in the M&M on our previous cruise we can see that this is a great way to make friends and get to know them a bit before finally meeting them - a definite plus. We would recommend this to anyone, especially if you are travelling alone or as a couple. M&M was great fun with our Hometown/State gift exchange and Cabin Crawl - many thanks to Cathy for organizing this. Only downside was the venue and length of time given to the M&M - The Chamber was not ideal and 1 hour was just not enough.
