I was very nervous about this cruise after reading a number of not so positive reviews but I am pleased to say it was great. We boarded at Tampa very quickly and trouble free, our room was ready in good time and was clean and very well maintained for the duration of our cruise. The crew without exception were very friendly and did every thing to make sure our trip was perfect . A mention for our waiter " Cesar " in the minstal dinning room, again went out of his way to ensure our dinners were just as we liked them. The shop was clean even though it was at full capacity .
The windjammer was very good,I was asking the head chef about Indian food ( a favorite of mine) he said come in that night and ask for him and he would cook me an Indian meal ! There was even a Indian dish added to the buffet, I am sure not beacause of me but non the less I was very pleased, the other choices were very good and fresh , of course a couple of times we had to look for a table but a couple of minutes later we were seated, let's be honest with a large amount of people from time to time you have to expect this, but Royal Caribien are great at managing large amounts of people in my opinion.
We stayed on the ship whilst in port as we had been there before, and enjoyed the freedom of the ship for the day.all in all this was a great trip on a great ship for a great price.
This was our first time on a lower deck, but the cabin was great, the beds were put together to make a double,sheets were soft, there was also decent programs on the tv, as stated above our room attendant was great and kept the room clean and tidy, from the first night called my wife and I by our first names. As with all inside cabins don't forget to take a clock as they are very dark when the light are out, great for sleeping but easy to loose track of
time, over all very pleased.
