It was all that we expected. Calm seas virtually all the way. Only a couple of days with choppy seas. Average age of passengers was high but it meant all activities was almost always available. We absolutely loved the sea days, made the trip with it. Loved seeing only ocean for 6 days.
The itinerary was great. Enjoyed the various stops and sights along the way. It's great to see places one would normally not even have though of. We will most definitely be returning to some of the cities we visited.
The Serenade of the seas is might not be Royal Caribbean's biggest ship but it has enough to keep us busy for the 16 days. Playing miniature golf on 5m waves was an experience.
