It was a good deal. Excellent bargain. The entire experience was fantastic!! The ship was very clean. The staff was extremely friendly. The food was very good, even in the buffets. The main dining room was like a very fine restaurant. I cannot say anything negative about my cruising experience. I would definitely go on this ship again. Disembarkation was always smooth. You never had to wait in line very long to get on and off the ship. The ports were great. The live shows were fabulous (with the exception of "Columbus", which was weird). I particularly enjoyed the Ice Show. The bars were good and the drink selection was very good. I bought the drink package. I would have liked it if there had been more bar tenders, because sometimes waiting for a drink was a little long - but certainly not unacceptable. I would highly recommend this ship and Royal Caribbean to anyone.
