We chose this cruise for the variety of locations and sea time. This was our 4th Royal Caribbean cruise. Overall the cruise was a wonderful experience. The memorable moments were made greater by the service professionals who made it their daily goal to provide great service. Special thanks to Pilar, Roupii & Alguin who served as our dining staff. Their service and efforts tied every day together, our table mates were well chosen and we thoroughly enjoyed our interactions. Our cabin was adequate & was cared for by Bridgett who kept things tidy. Two very big drawbacks were that our bed was very hard & uncomfortable, the separation of the bed frame did not help. Our windows were big and would have afforded great views but the plexiglas covering were stained and murky. Being on the lower level we were also subjected to the sometimes very loud engine. The rest of the ship spaces were comfortable and afforded us great views. First run movies were nice as entertainment in the theater.We were left to scratch our heads at the constant loop on the big jumbotron tv at the pool deck either a continuous loop of animal antics or athletic bloopers.The television aboard left alot to be desired. Older sitcoms and dramas were on a loop and just 2 episodes played continuously for the duration of the cruise. We enjoyed one series so much & were so frustrated by the same 2 episodes we resorted to buying the high priced internet. Our favorite excursion was DisneyWorld great service there and back to ship, Coco Cay was scrapped due to heavy wind so we spent 2 days in Nassau. Grand Bahamas Island & Charlston South Carolina were nice (lots of dolphin sightings) and on and off boardings in Baltimore were great.

Our cabin was adequate & was cared for by Bridgett who kept things tidy. Two very big drawbacks were that our bed was very hard & uncomfortable, the separation of the bed frame did not help. Our windows were big and would have afforded great views but the plexiglas covering were stained and murky. Being on the lower level we were also subjected to the sometimes very loud engine. finally the toilet (vacuum based) did not always flush, and the sink water pressure was very low.
