We chose this cruise because we could drive to the port and save on flight costs. We traveled with my father and his wife, and my husband's brother and his wife. Embarkation was easy however I found the staff in the port for disembarkation were rude (but this is no fault to Royal Caribbean).

The ship is huge, so many venues to hang out in. Loved the roller skating and bumper cars, we had no issue getting a turn. The line ups were perfectly manageable and it was fun to watch others while we waited for our turn. My husband did the iFly and North Star and had a great time. Two70 was great to grab a bite to eat and just hang out in. The solarium is a beautiful place. We were able to use the area on the first day at sea, but the area was very busy our last 2 days at seas. Lots of lounge chairs throughout the ship so we were always able to snag a seat, just not always beside the pool areas.

We found the Windjammer very busy and chaotic and only ate their twice, however the staff were very friendly. We ate at Two70 a few times, very good for a simple meal. Didn't care for Sorrento's pizza, we found it very greasy. Cafe Promenade was great for a small snack or treat. We dined in Silk and the Grande for breakfast and dinner and the service and food were exceptional. Also enjoyed Johnny Rockets for lunch one day. We found all the food very good and only complaint would be the lack of food available after 9pm.

Cabin Review

Deluxe Obstructed Ocean View Stateroom with Balcony

Cabin DO

Cabin was well laid out and comfortable. They provide shampoo, conditioner, shower gel and body lotion. Lots of plugs, drawer and closet space and luggage fit under the bed to store away. Loved the obstructed balcony. Didn't bother us at all having the obstruction, in fact I find it provided more privacy while still providing access to outside. Comes with two comfortable chairs, ottomans and side table. We found the bed very comfortable.

Port Reviews

Nassau

The locals are super friendly and helpful. There was a lot of locals asking us to buy something, etc, but they were very polite and when we would say no they were very gracious. We had no issues.

Bayonne (Cape Liberty)

Bayonne is somewhat hard to navigate but we followed traffic and the gps and made our way to the port. Parking garage was easy to navigate and staff was friendly and helpful.
