This was our family's first Royal Caribbean cruise. The first thing I would like to say is that we would definitely sail RCCL again. The ship was super clean and comfortable. The service was good. The food was good. The live entertainment was good. There was definitely room for improvement in the food and entertainment (overall). The movie screen over the pool is not utilized to its fullest. The cruise line clearly encourages cruisers to disembark at ports by having very few activities on board during those times. Our family likes to stay on board and enjoy the ship's amenities, but found little more than the pool to occupy our time. The food was good. It was definitely NOT bad, but it was also not spectacular. We loved the options available in terms of places to eat, and times food was available. The on-deck ice cream (frozen yogurt) is not open nearly long enough. There is a big "push" to shop on board, and the values are not all they're cracked up to be. We loved the Coke machines with all of the flavors...until they started running out 4 days into the cruise. All in all, the review seems a little negative, but really, we had a great time. Our servers were all wonderful, our stateroom attendant was fantastic, and the ship's crew were great. We didn't use the kids' club (our kids didn't like it the first day, and we didn't force them to go back), so I don't feel like I can offer a review of that area of service. I look forward to sailing with RCCL again.

Cabin Review

We had 7133 & 7131 as connecting rooms. It was great with the kids. We had plenty of space and 2 bathrooms. The rooms' location are fantastic. Easy access to the elevator and Promenade without noise from that area. Being an inner corridor there was plenty of noise from what we assumed to be staff moving through the core of the ship.
