Additional details
This is my sixth cruise and second with Royal Caribbean. Previous RC was on Legend of the Seas. Travelled with family. I have previously travelled with P&O, NCL, and Celebrity.
The ship is large with 4200 guests. It does have a number of WOW's which are the Flowrider surf simulator, Ripcord, WOW bands and Seaplex. I am not however convinced that these are suxcessful. WOW bands are no more than a sea pass card, the Flowrider and Ripcord are great if you are a pro and the Seaplex was not well utilised.
Open deck space is poor. The boat deck is certainly better than the Norwegian Epic however the amount of open deck on upper decks is severely limited by the number of sun loungers and only one sun deck; significantly less open deck compared to older ships and the recent Celebrity Solstice class ships. Subsequently most activities take place in side and you rarely feel you are on a ship. There is no atrium on the ship.
