Where do I start? This was our first cruise on Royal Caribbean having previously only cruised on Carnival. We did spend more money booking this cruise but in hind sight that was money very well spent. The cruise was outstanding and a noticeable quality difference on almost every level from our experience on Carnival.

I will start with Embarkation. We arrived pretty early, so it really wasn't that bad. We checked our bags with the porter around 10:15 or so I think. There was a fairly long line before getting up to get our sea passes and accounts set up. Then we had to wait for a few minutes for the rest of the ship to de-board. I'd say we waited a little more than an hour total before we were on board and in the wind jammer for food. There were plenty of tables when we arrived and we didn't have any trouble finding good seats along the windows. About thirty minutes later it was pretty busy in the wind jammer buffet and we left so that others could enjoy our seat and set out to explore.

Our cabin was ready close to 1:00 and we went in to get settled and a change of clothes since we were still wearing long sleeves and jeans having just flown in that morning. Our cabin was a promenade cabin right above the Ben & Jerry's Ice cream shop. This was a special cabin known as the Ben & Jerry's "Sweet" the room's view of the promenade is partially blocked by the cow's on top of the Ben & Jerry's. They give you free Ben & Jerry's for the cruise and access to the concierge lounge. This was an awesome perk to have! They guys in the lounge were amazing, and there was an open bar every night for pre and post dinner drinks. The cabin was small but adequate. I would consider booking a promenade again, but would've probably upgraded to a balcony if this cabin didn't include all the perks.

Cabin PR

This is the Ben & Jerry's suite. This cabin is a standard promenade cabin with a buch of special cow decorations. It included free Ben & Jerry's for the cruise and access to the concierge lounge which was a fantastic perk! I would absolutely recommend this cabin.
