I chose Royal Caribbean mainly because of the reviews. It had good ratings. I also liked the different ports I visited. I flew out of NYC to Orlando and took a shuttle to Port Canaveral. Check in at the port was good, timely and the staff was efficient.
When I got to my cabin, the first thing I noticed was the toilet seat and the toilet, it had marks. It was clean but just looked weathered and needed upgrade. Our sheet on the side had a mark like it was soiled (didn't feel or look clean). But we are not uptight people and we just went with the flow but I did feel disappointed.
Overall ship was clean, staff were friendly and polite but I could tell some are either having a bad day, tired or in need of a vacation themselves. I took notice of the fitness facility and I have to say it was really nice with clean machines, lots of cardio machines and it was a big facility. I liked the track too.
The cabin was ok but I do think it needs upgrade especially the toilet/toilet seat. The stateroom attendant was cool and he made sure our room was always clean.
