My wife and I have been taking cruises at least once a year for the last several years. Most of these have been on Royal Caribbean. We have very happy with the service on all RCL cruises and this was no exception. Sailing was exceptionally smooth, no vibrations at all.

We had a balcony stateroom on the 10th deck (#1516). The room and the balcony were quite clean and spacious. Stateroom service was excellent. I felt that furniture arrangement in this room was actually better than some of the other ships we have traveled on. There was plenty of room for hanging clothes, and lots of drawers. RCL seems have stopped providing separate Shampoo and Conditioner. There was only one wall mounted pump for Shower Gel.

We opted for my time dining, unlike some other cruise lines, we were allocated the same table for 2 and the same neighbors every night in the dining hall. We ate most lunches in the Windjammer Cafe. Service in both locations was very good, however the quality of food was not up to par. Except for Lamb Shank one night, food in both locations was barely acceptable. Read more
