This was our second time on this ship was over Thanksgiving break,as we were on it over Easter in April for the 12 day southern Caribbean cruise. We are diamond members for RCCL so we have been on many of their ships. A bit different sailing on a 7 night vs a 12 night cruise. The 7 night itinerary is nothing to write home about, best port was Coco cay but the water was rough so tendering took forever! En easy enjoyable day sitting by the beach watching the waves and people watching. Lot more children this time but since I spend most of my time in the Adult area it wasn't an issue except we couldn't get near the bumper cars! There is so much to do on this ship, best kept secret is the breakout room were you have an hour to try to solve a puzzle to be released from a room you are locked in. Fun time had by the 10 of us who tried without success to solve the clues. Indoor and outdoor pool and hot tubs for the whole family and hot tubs and pools just for adults, Nice! We had no children with us but there is tons for kids to do, we watched the trapeze class and said no way! but a lot of kids were in line! The surfing and I fly and rock climbing wall were always busy, not to mention the popular bumper cars. The kids camp was below our cabin so we could see it was very popular.

The decor and shows are a bit wacky but we enjoyed them. Even the special guest entertainment was good. We ate at The steakhouse and Wonderland again this time both are excellent. Brought the two nights for price of one special offered per cruise for nights one and two, excellent bargain. If on this ship you have to go to Wonderland, nothing like it any where! Just be adventurous and let your waiter suggest what to eat. Just amazing and Delicious.

Can not figure out why people do not like this ship, maybe not as pretty as other RCCL ships but it still is everything you could ask for. Great rooms (have had an inside room with fake balcony (complete with sound) and a regular balcony room thought they were both perfect. Room attendants wonderful and waiters were good if a bit harried. (We had traditional dining with the same waitstaff at the same time each night.) Entertainment staff great and funny. Captain was very friendly and greeted passengers daily.
