We chose this cruise as a last minute get away. I honestly am shocked at some of the reviews of this cruise....I wouldn't recommend spending the money for it.
First of all, let me say that the staff is wonderful aboard this cruise. They are some of the nicest and kindest people aboard any ship we have cruised. They are quick to say hello and give you a smile. We only encountered two rude employees, and overall, that is quite impressive. The cruise would have been unbearable without the wonderful staff. The problems we had were not staff related in any way. I think it is a reflection of Royal Caribbean overall as a company.
This ship is small and overall "looks" satisfactory. It can't be compared really to the bigger and newer ships. I understand that...
This was the smallest cabin and bathroom we have ever encountered. My 6'4" husband wanted to soap down the shower walls and just turn to get clean. lol They rooms need updated, and beds hurt our backs (a first for a cruise).
