We choose this cruise for its itinerary and price. The ship was nice but the cabin was quite a bit smaller than one we had on the Celebrity Reflection. We had a balcony room and it was quite tight for two. The bathroom was very small and you could barely move around in it. The food was good and the service in the Dining Room was excellent. We chose the late dining 8:30 PM and I don't think we would do that again as it was almost 10:00 PM by the time we had finished. We had room service bring coffee and fruit in the morning but sometimes they did not always work out as well as expected. The entertainment was quite good and the entertainers in the smaller bars were excellent. My only major complaint would be the tours that we took from the ship. They seemed very rushed and the "free" time allowed in each town that we visited was totally insufficient. In Valencia, we were given 20 minutes fto use the rest room and do any shopping in a large market. The line for the rest room took at least 15 minutes which left no time to even get a coffee. Valencia is a beautiful city but I felt that I ran through it. There was no reason for rushing as we got back to the ship in plenty of time before the allotted sailing time. I would not use the tours from the ship again. This was my first Royal Carribben cruise. I did like Celebrity better.

The cabin was convenient as it was located very close to an elevator bank in the bow of the ship.
