Having been on 7 previous cruises with Royal Caribbean, I was anxious to see what they had done with this tiny ship. We booked a 5-night cruise visiting Grand Cayman and Key West. After reading the initial reviews of the ship soon after coming out of dry dock, I was concerned about what we had gotten ourselves into. But not to worry, Royal Caribbean has addressed the many issues plaguing the first few sailings.

Embarkation was incredibly quick and smooth. We explored the ship until our room was ready. The outside cabin was small but had ample storage. The stateroom attendant, Rinauldo, was extremely attentive and kept our cabin in pristine shape.

The food in the windjammer and the starlight dining room was delicious and they never ran out of anything. It was easy to get drinks anywhere on the ship - the bars were staffed well and we never experienced a wait of more than a few minutes. The frozen yogurt machine was functional for the entire cruise. Not sure why, but this ship does not have the Coca-Cola freestyle machines like many other RCI ships. Seems like that would be an easy addition to make that many cruisers would enjoy. Read more
