We chose this cruise for a variety of reasons; Positive reviews on the ship, past experience with cruising, and past experience on Royal Caribbean. The ship was extremely impressive! However, I think we would chose a smaller ship next time. We missed seeing the same staff personnel and getting to know them on our trip. Other than our stateroom attendant, and the cruise director, we rarely saw the same staff member twice.

Chops Grill was a TOTAL waste of money. The steaks were mediocre and not worth the extra fee! Would never go to Chops or recommend to anyone. 150 Central Park was FABULOUS! the staff and food was SPECTACULAR! The Vitality Spa was also fabulous.

I would recommend that Royal Caribbean either extend the port stay times, or extend the excursion time to allow the clients to fully enjoy and get their money's worth. Read more
