I have cruised before 9 times. This was my third cruise with Royal Caribbean and I regret having spent so much money in this cruise. The check in procedure was ok, but we had previously checked in online. I was travelling with my husband, my daughter and her husband and 20 other passengers who were part of the family of my son in law. Most of us had previously taken cruises.
We arrived at lunch time, so we decided to go and have something for lunch, so we went to the Windjammer which is the cafeteria. The variety of food was very scarce, but the drinks were terrible: the coffee was undrinkable, the orange juice was half water and half juice, the fruit punch was even worst. The only drink which was very good was tea. Then we went to the pool which was crowded.
This ship has only two swimming pools: one that is exclusively for adults and other who is for children and adults. The floor surrounding the swimming pools was always wet and dirty and we never saw anyone from the staff cleaning or drying the floor. The same thing happen in the cafeteria and the restaurants, they only cleaned when they closed.
We booked a large interior cabin which was almost the same as my daughter's which was a standard interior cabin. The closes and the bathroom was OK, but the space is very limited. Our cabin was on the deck eight, and since it was close to the elevators it was too noisy we heard since a lot of children running and shouting all the time.
