Being a first time cruiser traveling with my veteran cruising boyfriend (I believe he had been on 12-15 cruises already) we both REALLY enjoyed this cruise! Royal Caribbean I believe goes above and beyond for everyone on board. Every employee we came in contact with were so nice and willing to answer questions with a smile. Yes, I will say the ship is showing age being an older/smaller ship in the Royal Caribbean family, but it was still very nice and enjoyable. My boyfriend and I choose this cruise based on the ports of call, not for what the ship had to offer. Maybe in the future I would choose a bigger ship, but the smaller this time was perfect for us. We had a ocean view cabin in room 3512, it had 2 portholes but still perfect size for the two of us.
Dining was fantastic, our waiter, Christavo, was awesome! He went above and beyond each night. One night we went to the speciality Italian restaurant and it was delicious!
We did not attend too many shows. The two we attended were the "Love and Marriage" and "The Final Show". Both funny and good, but nothing special. Everyday there was different entertainment on the pool deck which was fun.
