We went on a family vacation that included extended family to celebrate a 70th birthday. There was so much to do for everyone. Getting on to the ship was about an hour from start to finish. Getting off the ship was worse, about two hours. With over 6,000 people trying to get off at one port and one depot it was a mess of lines and cranky people. The food and entertainment were great. Lots of options. We had a general meeting point each day and didn't have any trouble finding one another when needing to check in with each other. The wait staff is so friendly and hospitable. Can you imagine doing this week after week with rude travelers? They are to be commended for keeping a smile on their face! We bought the unlimited premium drink package and it was well worth the expense. We did not eat in any of the up charge restaurants and enjoyed our dining experience immensely. The windjammer was a great option for all three meals. The service was fast and the food delicious. Dealing with the people was the annoying part. Most people don't how to properly navigate a buffet line and being on the lookout for others! By the end of the boat it really started to get on your nerves! Again, the poor waitstaff and all they have to endure! Our room steward was friendly and efficient. He would clean our room the minute we left and always made sure to say hello each day and see if we needed anything. Royal Caribbean is a great cruise line. Would definitely cruise on them again, just not on a ship this big!
