No one does embarkation/disembarkation process better than Royal Caribbean. 5 islands on a 7 day cruise is a little much. I was traveling with a group as I've done many times on Royal Caribbean. Ship appears outdated and worn in places (mini suite bathroom in need of some updating). Dining room service was a catastrophe; food was mediocre. Schooner Bar on Deck 4 is the place to be. Great bartenders. Karaoke, trivia, entertainers were ok. Staff on Deck 9 were incredibly friendly. Wonderful to see smiles and hear laughter as they engage with passengers walking by. Cabin Steward was incredible. Very attentive and friendly. Solarium pool for adults only is wonderful. Should have more than 1 bartender there. Seemed as though waiters taking orders at chairs went to a different bar to fill orders. There was usually a wait time at the bar so most people started ordering from waiters. The days of having to sign for cocktails when on a beverage package may have to return. Saw too many people ordering drinks and giving them to someone else not on a drink package.
