Overall cruise was outstanding! Would do it again in an instant. The ship is HUGE! a lot to do - never bored. Kids had great time 9 & 12. Very Fluid operation - we flew in morning of (Ft. Lauderdale) Airport is 15 mins away - took taxi, checked in and pretty much just walked on the boat no lines etc. around 11AM - very smooth - So here are some things I recommend:
1 - Buy full beverage package if you are a decent drinker but ahead of time - cheaper - over the 7 days you drink a lot - Grab a drink at bars before you get to a show and there won't be a line - easier
2 - Get Internet ahead of time if you want internet - cheaper
Great location - Towards front of boat - not too far or too close (for noise) to elevator - The front section was def. quieter then rear of the boat - had no real boat movement - Floor nine in the upper middle of the ship - good overall location - would book in similar location again. Only one level off of central park which you can just go down stairs to. Just seemed quieter in the front of the boat - a little easier to catch elevators etc.
This is RCL island 0 it was OK - we really just went to the beach - If you just want to do that, when you get off the boat there will be a boat taxi on your right - that takes you over to the beach area and avoids walking - You catch a tram back - You can biplane which I heads was amazing but the rest of the island was just a mix of a bunch of stuff with a market which they try and get you to buy stuff
