We were part of a group of eight first time cruisers on Royal Caribbean, and all agreed that it would not be our last.
We started with a great time in Baltimore capped off with a wonderful pre-cruise dinner at G&M Seafood Restaurant. There were a total of 12 Cruise Critics at the dinner where we all had top notched Maryland crab cakes.
We booked one night before and one night after the cruise at Comfort Inn Airport. Hotel was just ok, but the price was reasonable which included a full breakfast and a shuttle to the cruise terminal.
Small as compared to like stateroom on Carnival but adequate. Much more storage than other cruise lines we have sailed with.
