Embarkation was very easy. We arrived in FtL the night before. We stayed at the Red Carpet Inn because it had a shuttle from airport to the Inn and then to the cruise port next morning. Other reviews on CC said this was a bad place to stay, but we had no problems with them. Picked us up in less than 10 minutes from our call. Our TA first put us in Aqua Class. It may have been a good idea to stay because it did have paid gratuities and a drink package. The fact that we were on CC was great. We went to M&M and kind of hung around with those people when we could. We missed having a mall and ice rink. Equinox had more pay restaurants. We tried them but found that we would probably have been just a happy in main dining than specialty dining. We did like our shoe excursions. Especially the fact that we could get 3 different ones in 3 ports for a smaller $ combined price. The best thing we did on board was the Silent Disco. So much fun to see people dancing and singing and not hear music. Should be something they should have done every night and not just 2 and it was FREE except for the martinis that we drank. Bingo was very disappointing. First of all we should have been in the threatre. There was another activity in the room right before bingo so everyone was crowded in the hallway. There was NO drink service. The bingo boards were old. For the amt of $ paid they should have been state of art electronic boards. They combined the free cruise drawing with the Bingo. You didn't play bingo for the free cruise. It was a one time drawing. Service was supposed to be better, not.
There was not as many children on this cruise, so it was quieter. You were able to be at the hot tubs and regular pool without kids. We still felt like we were tickled and died to death. Wine was more expensive than our other cruises. We enjoyed the cruise and made some new friendships, but we are going back to Royal Caribbean.
We had storage above the bed, but you had to stand on the bed (very unstable ) to use it. The bathroom was laid out better and not so tiny.
