I chose this cruise for the itinerary. Living in South Florida you can only do eastern and western Caribbean so many times. The ports were very nice. The service on the ship was outstanding. The wait staff were very attentive and accommodating. They always addressed us by our names and couldn't do enough to please us. The cabin steward was also attentive and accommodating. I had a small issue, which I went to guest services to address. They took care of it immediately, followed up with me with a phone call and left a note in the cabin to make sure my issue was resolved and I was satisfied with the outcome. Although the ship is a little older, it is well maintained and was beautiful. The entertainment was spectacular- the shows were very entertaining and professional. I hadn't been on a Royal Caribbean cruise in almost 4 years and immediately remembered why I love this cruise line so much.
