My husband and I have cruised quite a bit with Royal Caribbean, but this was the first time we brought the kids. This was probably the worst cruise we have had with Royal...however we still enjoyed ourselves, it was better than being at work! The weather was bad for most of the cruise...cold and very windy! I know we can't control mother nature but it did dampen the spirits a bit. This is probably the last time I will cruise in March...have had similar weather experiences in March on previous cruises (shame on me but the price was good). We did have a fair amount of college spring breakers but they didn't bother us...in fact maybe they even lightened up the mood a little!
Here are the highlights:
Adventure Ocean is amazing! Cant say enough great things about this program...my kids loved it! It really saved us RE poor weather...gave the kids something really fun to do since it was too cold to swim the first couple days. I thought the food was pretty good overall (except the deserts - bland). The ship was clean and in good shape...loved our stateroom location and size....it was on the hump so we had a little extra room. Stateroom attendant was great! Really enjoyed the entertainment, Grease was awesome! My kids even stayed up and watched the whole thing. Other live music around ship was great!
On the hump, extra room inside and on balcony, great location!
Took too long to get on and off the ship
Port is safe to walk around and clean
