This cruise was for my wife and I on our 25th wedding anniversary. Neither of us had ever traveled to Europe. This repositioning Trans-Atlantic Cruise seemed perfect, and for the most part it was. This was our second time on Royal Carribean, but first time on one of the mid sized ships. While we are "Elite" on Princess, we are just starting out on Royal.
That being said, the embarkation procedure was fine, not a long wait, not a short wait, but overall it was fine.
We were very pleased with the ship, The "Mall" on board is awesome, as is the skating rink on board. We went to the ice skating show "Ice Dancin' " and it was a great show in its own right, but amazing that it was on a cruise ship. The Ship itself was very calm, probably the smoothest cruise I've ever been on (but to be fair, the Atlantic was very calm during the duration of our cruise).
Not really big, but not too small too. Bed was very comfortable. Adequate storage. But it is a bit tricky to get Larger empty suitcases under bed for storage.
We took a horse drawn City Tour from a local gentleman we found on the dock. Was a very nice tour.
