After 22 cruises, a person sometimes feels that they've done or seen everything that a cruise ship would have to offer. Still, being that this was our first cruise on a Ginormous of the Seas class ship, we knew that we would be totally blown way, and that is incredibly true in this case. I often wondered why Royal Caribbean charged so much for the "privilege" to cruise on these latest ships, but after experiencing all that the ship has to offer, I can safely say that I get it. With everything it has to offer, there are lots of people to pay. WOW is an understatement.
I usually write about the good, the bad and the ugly when referring to a cruise we've just taken, but in this case, there really isn't too much "bad or ugly" that could possibly be referenced, at least not at the fault of RC. I'll break things down according to all of the major topics:
EMBARKATION/DEBARKATION: Smooth and smooth. I would say that it took no more than 15-20 minutes total, from the time we dropped off our luggage to the time we got on the ship. We stepped on board at 11:25 am; everything seemed to be very efficient. At debarkation, the longest wait was at customs, but even that was not very long.
