I wanted a good experience on my vacation! Believe me it is not fun when your food-service and entertainment don't meet expectations as last summer on another cruise line. This met all of my expectations--great food==wonderful entertainment==great service=tours were great. One thing that really thrilled me was i could watch fox news instead of cnn!! The specialty restaurants were an added pleasure. The chops restaurant had a steak that would melt in your mouth and excellent service. The sabor mexican restaurant that gave a seminar on guacamole and margaritas was fantastic!! The food was also awesome! The only thing that wasn't up to the great standard was the photos. I felt they didn't take the time or effort to get a really goo photo--therefor i bought none! I loved the balcony room. We could watch everyone coming and going from the balcony--you know the last man on ship running! We enjoyed the experience of having the ocean right out our door! I can't say enough for the wonderful time spent on our 7 day cruise on royal caribbean. Will be going on rcl again soon.
