I chose this cruise because my children and I wanted to experience the best of the best - a modern day Titanic epic cruise!! We were pleasantly surprised with every aspect of the cruise from the activities to the food and from the ports to the personal services by the crew. There was never a dull moment with the shows and excursions. Every day we opened our eyes to a new adventure and again the staff made it super special. We were constantly amazed at the level of professionalism and care each one demonstrated. Getting to meet the Captain and chatting with him was extra special. Capt. Johnny is very personable and witty. He shared many sea stories and it was most memorable to see him in a pair of red and green socks denoting port and starboard. There were surreal moments when my teenage children and I felt like we were on a floating castle. Thank you Royal Caribbean family, we have magical memories thanks to you!!
