Traveled for a winter vacation to the Caribbean, and wanted to try one of the largest cruise ships in the world. I do not regret that I did it, but it may not be the best ship for me.

The ship is AMAZING and beautiful, and it is BIG. My favorite areas were the Solarium and Central Park. We had a cabin on Deck 8, and that was very convenient to the Park Cafe and just a few floors up from the Royal Promenade. The Central Park balcony cabins would also have a beautiful view.

I have to mention that we had the Ultimate Dining Package, and that it was just too much food and too regimented in terms of when and where we had to eat. The food we had was delicious, but I'll stick to the 3 day dining package in the future. The service at all of the restaurants was exceptional. We did try the buffet for breakfast a few times, and also the Park Cafe, both were very good. Try the Promenade Cafe for fresh juice and specialty coffee. Read more
