A beautiful vacation with lots to do for all age groups. Embarkation was a breeze even with the new format for the sea pass cards. This boat made a great first impression with its modern decor and fantastic views from the large windows at 270. The bar in 270 was by far the best bar on the ship!!! The food was good to excellent in both dinning rooms and windjammer and staff very attentive. The entertainment was none stop, very well done and professional. The pools were nice and the pool staff removed towels from chairs that were left to long. A chance for everyone to have a good seat!!! The only thing I noticed was the mess around the ice cream machine pool side... it always seemed to be messy? We loved the new royal IQ and the texting ability between friends and children you are traveling with. I wish this would be added to all boats.
