This was our seventh cruise, but this was our first with Royal Caribbean. All others were with Holland America Line (HAL).
Due to problems with flights and lost luggage on previous cruises, we decided to try booking the airfare thru the cruise line. Between the airfare and our pre-cruise hotel stay, all transfers were included. Everything went very smoothly. We may do this again. It makes it all very easy.
PreCruise
Large closets and lots of storage space. Very clean and quiet. Bathroom lacks amenities such as lotions, etc. Only has a bar of soap and shampoo dispenser.
