Wanted to sail on a large ship this time around. Usually sail on the Radiance Class ships. Flights and boarding went very smoothly. The pre tour hotel (Hyatt Pier 66) is an excellent place to stay to rest up from the flight and get into cruising mode. We chose a Jr Suite which has a balcony, larger room and a tub shower. It was up to the usual RCCL standards with one exception. They provided a one cup Mr. Coffee Maker with 4 cup coffee pods. They make a complete mess and are way to strong. This was also true on other ships in past sailings and has never been corrected. Diamond Plus has been kicked out of the Concierge Lounge but the Diamond Lounge was big enough to handle the group of Diamond and Diamond Plus guests. Service in this lounge was superb. Dining was up to the usual standards for RCCL. We also tried the Chops Grille and found it to be well worth the price.

We loved Mama Mia, the Ice show, the Blue Planet show and the diving show.

This ship has plenty of activities to keep your interest for the entire cruise. Read more
