Everything about this ship was great, the staff as usual made you feel like royalty. No wonder they call themselves Royal Caribbean. There was so much to do on board and the problem was finding time in the day to do it all, thankfully being a long cruise gave plenty of time to do most on board activities. Most things like skating, flow rider and bumper cars you had to line up for but if you got to the area early enough you did not have to wait too long, the staff were very organised and ensured lines moved fairly quickly. Besides you are on holidays and having to wait a little is no problem. People who complain about waiting in lines usually turn up five minutes before the activity closed and are disappointed when they miss out, if you do not want to miss out turn up early.

Most major activities such as I-Fly and North star I recommend booking before boarding especially if you are on a short cruise as there may be little time during the cruise to just turn up and expect to get on. Just takes a bit of organisation before boarding the cruise.

All tendering ports for this cruise was exceptionally organised and we never had to wait to long to get on a tender, mainly due to the fact that we got up exceptionally early on the mornings that tender tickets were issued and usually got on the first or second tender leaving the ship. Once again those who complain about lining up in long lines for tender tickets or having to wait in lines to board tenders arrived five minutes before tender tickets were issued and with four thousand passengers on board what do you expect turning up that late before tickets were issued. Besides once again you on holidays so waiting in line is nothing compared to being at work. Read more
