Went with friend to help chaperone 4 recent high school graduates and chose this cruise because length and nearby Baltimore location. I haven't cruised in 10 years and had a blast on this vacation. Ship was recently renovated and looked great despite being 21 years old. Embarkation was pretty smooth and we were on around 11:00am. The food was good to very good in the Windjammer and main dining room - we didn't try any of the specialy restaurants. My friend had the drink package and didn't have any trouble getting whatever she wanted, plenty of servers walking around. The staff were fantastic, everyone I encountered was helpful and friendly - example one day eating lunch in the buffet I saw two waitresses happily entertaining an energetic toddler so his parents could finish their lunch, really above and beyond! Randolph and his team in the dining room were fantastic handling special requests and hungry teenagers with smiles. Our interior cabin was small, but had lots of storage and our room steward Christopher kept it very clean. My only complaint was the mattress was rock hard and I had a sore back, RCL should consider getting memory foam mattress toppers. Cruise director Paul and "tornado" Tanya were great - lots of fun activities for all ages. We had beautiful weather and smooth sailing (didn't need Dramamine) and Bermuda was gorgeous. I perfer docking in Hamilton instead of King's Wharf, but we took a $14 (RT) taxi ride to Horseshoe Bay and had a lovely morning at the beach and had a nice tour of the Island on the way. Diembarkation was smooth and even the customs people were friendly. I would definately recommend this ship to anyone who likes mid size ships without all the bells & whistles and 5,000 passengers.

Interior Stateroom

Cabin M

Small interior cabin close to elevators, good storage for five days for two women. My only complaint was the mattress was rock hard and I had a sore back after second day. Christopher was our room steward and he was just great.
