We were in cabin 8168 a corner aft. We are in our mid fifty's. This was our 15th cruise 10th on RCCL.
Embarking: We drove to Boston from New York. Arrived about 12:00 PM, dropped the luggage with the porters and went to park. Indoor garage about 2 blocks away. They say to park on 4th level. The cost is $15 per day, payable by credit card when you leave. Went to the ship picked up our sea pass cards and on we went. We were eating by 12:30. Rooms were not ready till 1:00PM as usual.
The ship: It is in excellent shape, and we love the Radiance class ships. It is very easy to get around. Love the glass elevators looking at the water.
The cabin was a standard D1 aft. Bed by the doors to the balcony. The balcony is very wide with a partial wrap around. But the wall is on an angle towards the corner and you have to contort yourself over a support pole and around the wall which goes right up to the pole. But you can do it. The balcony is also a little narrow for aft cabin, just enough room for the lounge chair to fit.
But we love the AFT cabins.
