good size balcony could do with better chairs and table 
room size ok enough storage for 2 
bathroom on the small side but ok 
very clean 
could do with some TLC a bit tired looking

Embarkation

From parking the car to check in to getting first cocktail 20 min tops

Cabin

good size enough room for 2 plenty of hangers,safe,TV,tea&coffee,

kept spotless by steward towels can be changed twice a day the only negative would be the furniture was well used the curtains had seen better days 

Ship

there was over 4000 passengers on this cruise but never felt overcrowded could get a sunbed no problem never waited that long to get into dinner most nights we could get a seat in one of the bars 

Entertainment

was good most nights something for everyone "Grease" fantastic never made the ice shows the guy in the dog&badger was so good the other shows was good as well

Food

Fantastic we dinned in the main restaurant most night tried CHOPS GRILL steaks out of the world worth the extra and GIOVANNI'S TABLE was soo good as well the only restaurant we did't like was windjammer ok for lunch not for dinner nothing to do with the food not a lover of buffet type eating midnight pizza from sorrento's hit the mark 

Service 

was spot on and always with a smile

Excursions

never used ship ones we did our own thing

Disembarkation 

was just as quick we choose to take our own bags off because the time they gave us was to late but they would have changed it to a time to suite us if we wanted  

We had a great time and would love to do it again with another ship also meet and spoke to some really nice people from all over the world not just the UK 

My only issue was with Royal Caribbean customer service two words itwe where on the 27th Aug this was our first cruise so we have nothing to compare it with

so this how we found it so hear goes.
