This was my sixteenth cruise number nine on Royal Caribbean. I loved this mega ship. The bigger the better for me. We were able to get on board by 11:30 my husband and I are platinum members so we were able to get onboard early. Went straight to the buffet to have some lunch and wander around the ship. It was very easy to find your way around this ship. We checked out the flow rider and the solarium,casino and royal promenade. We were glad we didn't have to wear our life vest to the muster drill. We had my time dining and I loved this option. We never had to wait for a table and the service and the food was very good. I like this option more than the set times for dinner. The Royal promenade was a favorite of mine to just walk around down there or grab a cup or cofee at the cafe(the sandwhiches there were pretty good). The pizza at sorrentos was also very good which is also on the promenade deck. We swam mostly at the solarium pool since it was quiet with no kids allowed. I enjoyed the spas overlooking the ocean. The ice skating show was superb and this is one of Royals best shows on their large ships. The production shows were also very good and there was one comedian who had us laughing non stop. The only place that I ever felt a little crowded was at the buffet sometimes but otherwise never had any problem. The private island of Labadee is much nicer and bigger than Coco Cay in the Bahamas. We had great weather the whole time sunny and hot and for most of the trip it didn't even feel like you were moving it was so smooth. Getting off the ship was also a breeze. I will definitely be going on this class of ship again.
