We choose it because it is the largest cruise ship sail the seas to date and it was a Royal Caribbean Ship.we had not been able to cruise because of health reasons for a while but wanted to try again.I was disappointed with the Quality and preparation of food ,the ability of the entertainment team to have thing to fill in for the cancelled shows from the rough weather. If this had been my first cruise ever ,it would have been my last but we have cruise Royal Caribbean numerous times before and know they are better than this. Cats Musical was great ,Dive show was canceled so much you had to catch it when you could but it was great as well.Ice skate show was also very entertaining. Windjammer market restaurant was too small for the number of guest on the ship,it was hard to find a seat to eat.Dining room wait staff at times seem to be overwhelmed with the amount of people.
