I have been on 11 cruises,most of them on Royal Caribbean and have to say that the ship was great. I was worried when I saw the outside of the ship because it looked like an older boat but was pleasantly surprised how nice it was. We got to the port at 9:30 and were able to go in immediately, which was a first. We always go early to avoid the long lines We did the faster to the fun and when we got on the ship around 11:15 went straight to our rooms and our luggage was already there.
The food was great, especially Guy's Burgers. There are so many options for eating. I have been on both the Allure and the Oasis and this ship had more free options for eating than those ships. We went to the Sea Day Brunch twice and it was delicious.
The staff was always friendly. Very impressed with the entertainment staff, we went on the Carnival Freedom last year and was not at all impressed with the entertainment on that ship. Loved all the options of things to do at night.
