We have heard of repositioning cruises for years. When we heard of this one and the great price we jumped on it. We spent two nights in Barcelona. We loved the city and will go back. We were some of the first to check in and we had to stand in line before they would let us board. Once aboard we were not supposed to go to our cabins until 2pm. We did sneak in and dropped our stuff off. We went to the Windjammer which was not crowded. We made three ports of call before we headed across the Atlantic. All were enjoyable. We were six days on the open seas. The weather was great. We enjoyed the flying fish. We also enjoyed the forensic lectures. There wasn't much else to keep up busy so we got a little bored. We probably won't do another one of these until we get older. Our cabin steward and waiters were great. I'm not sure why we have to tip the head waiter. He was nice enough and dropped by our table every night but I didn't see him doing much else. We probably will not sail with Royal Caribbean again. I don't care for the two class system on their ships. If you are not double diamond or higher, i.e. first class, you get treated like second class citizens in certain situations, e.g. seating in the theater. We just completed our first cruise on Holland American in Sept. We felt like we were first class even though we were in one of the least expensive staterooms.
