We chose this cruise because we had never sailed from the Pacific Northwest and wanted to give it a try. Additionally, we liked the stop in San Francisco and Victoria, BC. Everything on this cruise was great, but that's what we have come to expect on a Royal Caribbean cruise!
We found the food to be excellent, again, as usual. When I hear people complain about the food I have to shake my head. We are frequent cruisers and have dined in some of the best restaurants in the world, and for a cruise ship and at the price we paid, we felt it was an exceptional value and very high quality. And the waitstaff! Wow, incredible at doing everything they could to make the meal and experience enjoyable.
Our cabin was clean and functional, although it's probably about time for an upgrade which many of our recent cruises seem to have been doing. Our cabin steward, Patrick, was very attentive and always pleasant to be around.
After cruising on some of RCCL's remodeled ships, the cabin stood out as needing an upgrade, but it was not worn out, just outdated. Everything worked and it was clean as it could be so we were happy. I also liked this cabin because one wall on the balcony was totally private (no partition that is partially transparent).
