My husband and I are seasoned cruisers and had been on Carnival, Disney and NCL before, but this was our first cruise on RCCL. Along for the ride were our three children, my mom, my teenage sister, 10 year old brother, middle sister with her boyfriend, and grandma. Originally, we booked multiple cabins, but when someone from our roll call cancelled his presidential family suite, we scooped it up.

We spent a week in Orlando prior to the cruise and drove to the terminal, parking right at the pier, which was pricy, but convenient. Check- in was simple and quick, though despite my efforts to explain that the suite upgrade was a surprise, several employees shouted out that we were suite guests. Luckily, my family did not catch on, and we were able to surprise them when we walked into the cabin.

The PFS is located at the aft of the ship, has two beautiful wooden doors (with doorbells) and a gigantic balcony. The view is slightly obstructed because the balcony does not extend to the rear of the ship, but that did not bother us. We enjoyed the deck chairs and the giant table, which easily fit us all. The space in this suite is excellent, with what was essentially two master suites, two regular sized bedrooms, four bathrooms, a living room, dining room, and more than ample closet space. The room was clean, but parts of it were clearly old and needed painting/replacement. The location was very quiet. We did not hear any noise from people nearby.
