We boarded the boat on the 22nd. The boarding process is so easy. RCCL has this down compared to Disney and Carnival. Debarkation was less than 10 minutes from the ship to the car and that includes locating 4 suitcases. The ship was massive. Highly recommend this boat, there is plenty to do for everyone.

Our teenagers had a great time. We cruised last Christmas and liked it so much, decided to do it again this year. The shows on board were great and had something for everyone. We missed the adult comedienne. Make sure you get your reservations before you board and write them down. I knew I had made reservations but sometimes, they would not show up on the TV. Having them written down helped.

As for the food, we did feel that it is going downhill compared to past cruises. But, we are foodies and have higher expectations. We did several of the pay restaurants and were pleased with them.

Solarium Bistro was much better. We were never able to get into Chops. Read more
