We got a really good last minute deal and decided to go with our friends. The reviews on CC were not good, and we were wondering what we would experience. We were very pleasantly surprised. Our oceanview room was clean, centrally located on the ship and well maintained by our room attendant. Our meal experiences in the main dining room were delicious, tasty and very pleasant due to our exceptional waiter and asst waiter. This is my 4th RCL cruise, and our evening meals were the best that I have ever had with RCL. Selection, presentation and quality left nothing to be unhappy with. The ship was maintained well, the Christmas decorations made for a very festive atmosphere, and the overall interaction with the staff was wonderful. The four of us had a wonderful time, and hope to have a return visit on this ship in the near future. There is no perfect cruise experience but I wonder at some of these recent reviews because I can't imagine what caused such negative reviews. To each his own, but I would recommend this ship and her staff with no hesitation.
Great location, small but compact and we had no complaints. A balcony is very nice, but we made due without one and did not spend a lot of time in the room anyway. We wanted to be outside to enjoy all that was going on.
Walked through the shopping area, but most stores are all the same. But people were friendly, weather was great and walking back to the ship was easy and close by.
Getting on the ship was painless and easy. We got there early, used the park and cruise at Comfort Suites hotel which was great, and were on the ship by 11am. Exiting the ship 5 days later was also easy and fairly quick. This is my 4th RCL cruise out of Port Canaveral, and it was the best!
