1st I want to say this ship was great. Its a large ship in this RCCL Fleet and I believe it had about 5000 Passengers/Crew. It did not feel crowded. The staff was great and the ship clean and our cabin was very nice. We had a balcony cabin on deck 6. This was our 4th RCCL cruise and our 11th cruise in general. We had the drink package which I would recommend as its included glasses of wine for dinner and frozen drinks for our days at the pool. Well worth the cost as you might be surprised how easy they go down when you are on vacation and have no concerns as to driving. The only complaint I have is there is not a lot of food options from 9PM on. The pizza is awful and Johnny Rockets has a surcharge and is just burgers. There wasn't even one night for a special midnight buffet. We had main dinner early seating and were often hungry each night. We were traveling with our large group of family so we did almost all the evening activities, so from 6 to 9:30 we were very busy. Everyone we spoke to had the same comment about RCCL lite on the evening cuisine...not a bad thing but RCCL should offer more late night food options. Room service cost after 10PM and not so good.

Cabin Review

Deluxe Oceanview Stateroom with Balcony

Cabin E2

Nice cabin with plenty of room and space to be comfortable. Shower had awesome water pressure. But we did have to call maintenance 4+ times during our week at sea - toilet stopped flushing, TV wouldn't work and air conditioner stopped 3 different days. The RCCL were quick to come and fix the problems.

Did shopping and went to Megan Bay Beach. This is a park and was great. We just hired a cab and went. we were safe and had a great time.
