We really enjoyed the cruise - first with RC, and the overall experience was very good. The ship had many many show options, and plenty of eating options. It was a sold out cruise based on what we were told, so things got pretty busy from time to time - but I never felt overwhelmed. Our room was roomy enough for us to not feel cramped, but it may have felt a bit tight for elderly. The Royal Promenade was amazing, and the ship truly felt like an island at sea. There were plenty of places to 'disperse' without feeling like you had to be with a million other people. Things were organized, it was nice that you could reserve seats for all the shows, and the food (at least at the scheduled dinners) was simply amazing. We definitely recommend the ship, although the new 'techy' items weren't on the cruise ship yet. Apparently it's going in for refurbishing soon, but it didn't need it in my opinion!
