Not having to fly to go on a cruise is really nice, but this cruise was "off" somehow. The ship seemed TOO big. We cruised on the sister ship 'Quantum of the Seas' when it first arrived. THAT was a HUGE ship also but crew/shore excursion/guest service people reacted differently. We were constantly being "sold" something. If you go for a massage, tell them before hand that you don't want to end a great experience by being sold something. Prices seemed way too high from the Internet to drinks. It's almost like the cheap airlines where you have to pay extra for everything now. Drinks were inconsistent....some bartenders made great drinks, other were horrible for the same drink. I think because the ship is so big bartenders try to be as fas as possible and don't care as much. Disembarking was a madhouse with no control at all. Have never stood in a line for 45-50 minutes just to get off the ship and then in customs......We've always liked RCCL but I'm going to look around.
