It's the second day of the Royal Caribbean cruise, and I'm writing this review as I stand in yet another slow-moving queue. I'm not even going to wait until the cruise is over before venting my frustration. If I hold it in any longer, I might spontaneously combust.

Let me say at the outset, I rarely post negative reviews about anything. A situation has to be REALLY bad before I would consider saying something unpleasant for all to see, but my family's experience of the past two days merits a scathing review.

1) At embarkation in Singapore, despite the promises of speedy boarding with "appointment times," and despite having previously submitted all required documents, we waited in one queue after another, finally being directed to a waiting area with insufficient air conditioning and too few chairs for the mobs of people waiting to board the ship.

Cabin Review

Deluxe Ocean View Stateroom with Balcony

Cabin E1

The cabin is larger and more spacious than some of the other ships we've been on, and the bed is comfortable. Bathroom is nice except the sink is tiny and at an awkward angle, so when washing my face, I was throwing water onto my feet. Only real complaint about the cabin is the wall mounted TV is placed in front of the bed, not the seating area, so you can only watch it while sitting or lying in bed.
