Additional details
Chosen for destination based on past Royal Cariibbean Experience which was excellent.
There was a group of 7 of us, 3 couples and a single friend. Our 4 reservations were linked. We all had oceanview rooms. Our rooms were fairly close to each other as requested, however we were not seated at the same table for dinner. We had to have this changed, so 3 were moved to the table that 4 of us had been assigned to. The worst table!. A long rectangle, so we could not all chat, and it was by the entrance/exit to the dining room. We had the 8pm seating. We never were served until 9pm even though were were always there by 8:15 at the latest. We missed every show since the early seatings started and went through our dinner time and we never got through with dinner in time to attend the late shows. Many nights were were still sitting in the dining room with only a few tables left and the staff was already resetting for the next day.
The pool has a max occupancy listed at 24! Of course there were more people standing in the pool than 24 at most times.
Cabin Review
Be aware! Many of the cabins on this ship have pull down bunks. They take one foot of space on each side of the bed that has been made in to a king. You can not walk on the side of the bed without bumping in to these usless beds. I appreciated there were 3 outlets to plug in to and the fact there were shelves in the bathrooms.
