We chose this cruise because it was over Martin Luther King holiday from school for our kids and to save vacation days.

We did enjoy the ship even though it is older and smaller but I do prefer the Freedom class size of Royal Caribbean because more things to do on ship. This was fine for a 3 night though. Overall I don't feel like RCCL has the best dining either. This was cleanest and friendliest crew though on a RCCL I have been on.

The stateroom is small for junior suite, but great location. Our children had a family oceanview on deck 8, 8558 which was quite small. The pool was great and never crowded and the highlight was Coco Cay. It is a wonderful private island. We did the paddle boarding. Our stateroom hostess Bibi was fantastic and the kids liked their host as well. Our dining room servers were great as well.
