This was our 11th cruise and 7th on Royal Carribean. We were not disappointed! Ship was beautiful, staff friendly and service great. I loved the different chairs, sofas and other seating and the colors and patterns were beautiful.
Embarkation was a breeze, and we were on the ship in 15 minutes. As cabins weren't open yet we headed to Windjammer. Loved the changes, including the panini bar and flavored waters to drink. They've added hand washing stations which is a great idea.
Once onboard we paid for Internet and opened the Royal IQ app. It worked well, and the Internet was super fast! Tracking our luggage was great, and having all our reservations and excursions listed was very helpful. You could also check your onboard account as often as you liked.
Cabin was larger and better laid out than other ships. Our layout had the bed close to the balcony. Only problem was curtains just met but didn't overlap so light was coming in. Being a seasoned cruiser, I used my clips I always bring to keep the curtains closed :) Bathroom was ample and the larger shower was good. Had to keep water pressure down a little or the shower bottom filled as the drain couldn't keep up. But not a big issue. Storage was great and couch/desk were good.
Just boarded the ship. Didn't do anything in the port as we just came up from a stay in London. I don't have anything to say about the port but need to enter 150 characters which is ridiculous!
