First time on Royal Caribbean and completely satisfied! The ship being the largest, had everything you would want or need, from Starbucks to Karaoke to fabulous free pizza! I have cruised out of Tampa, Miami and now Port Canaveral, and prefer Port Canaveral. It was very efficient and they moved everyone along in a timely fashion. Our cabin was spacious enough, as long as the sofa bed wasn't open, otherwise, it's a pretty tight squeeze, as are other typical rooms. I traveled with my husband and teenage son, and we managed quite well. The food was great and the staff was consistently friendly and accommodating. There is lots to entertain you, no matter what age. Pools, activities, movies, rock wall climbing, zip line, ice skating (although not open all the time), karaoke, or just plain people-watching. The mall area is a great place to sit and enjoy delicious pizza, and although there are a few stores to shop in, they are primarily for the "rich and famous". The average Joe is not going to shop in Michael Kors, Rigalia, Kate Spade and numerous other high-end jewelry stores, but that's okay, I didn't go on a cruise to shop. I would imagine the duty-free part is the reason anyone would shop on a cruise ship. The one thing I would not do again is go on a tour excursion in St. Thomas. We had a rude taxi driver that sped through town, did not explain anything and left us waiting at the Botanical Gardens for over an hour. Thankfully, RC reimbursed us 20%, which showed how much they cared. Our tour in St. Maarten was fabulous, on an air-conditioned bus, with a great guide, who was delightful. She told jokes, sang to us and informed us about the island and it's cultures. Overall, our experience was memorable and encouraging. I will definitely take this cruise again.
