Amazing cruise! This was our first cruise with Royal Caribbean and only second ever, the first being 10 years ago so still consider us first timers. We were celebrating my sister's 50th birthday.
Embarkation was smooth we arrived around 1pm at the port after dropping off the car and from security to boarding the ship it only took about 45 min.
On board we went to our stateroom 1828 right off and some of our luggage was already there. Our stateroom attendant, Erick, was there almost immediately to greet us and introduce himself. He is more than amazing. Erick made sure throughout the cruise he did so much to make our vacation special. He always greeted us by name when he saw us in the hallways and had a smile on his face. He took time to talk with us and get to know us as well as letting us know a little about him and his family. This made us feel like he was a part of the family.
New and very clean. Thought being on the 12th Deck there might be more issues with motion but actually felt the motion more often on the lower levels than in our room. Very quiet and conveniently located to the Deck 11 Solarium pool for adults and sky bar. If you like the spa also on the same deck. Would book this one again if booking that category!
