I chose this cruise because my partner wanted to travel with Royal Caribbean. I have only travelled with P&O and Princess before. I was disappointed with Royal Caribbean in that their quality of food in the main restaurant was not up to the standard of the other two cruise lines that I had cruised with. Also formal evenings were not formal at all - in fact I felt out of place in my long dress with my partner in his DJ as most other people turned up in their shorts, T-shirts, flip-flops, jeans and bandanas. Was not really acceptable for a formal evening. Their staff were mostly unfriendly and under pressure and although the ship was really lovely, the overall ambience was not as it should have been on a relaxing cruise. A little disappointing, but have learnt that maybe I should stick with P&O and Princess. Shame - will probably not choose Royal Caribbean again !
The cabin was lovely with lots of space, but the balcony that we had being on the 13th deck was shielded from the sun from the deck above. Also when they washed the decks we had a puddle on our balcony for more than 24 hours which was dirty and we had to jump it to get to a dry part of the balcony.
