I chose this cruise because Royal Caribbean is the best cruise line around and the Oasis class ships are beautiful, loaded with fine restaurants, great adventures and reasonable fares. The ports are exciting and the tours offered have many fun activities.The passengers are varied, interesting and friendly and the cabins are spacious. I have cruised with Royal Caribbean for the past 20 years and the ships only get bigger and better. You can choose to do as much or as little as you want. Even though the the ship is very large you can always find a quiet place. The neighborhoods are sectioned in such a way as to make you feel as if you really are traveling around New York City. The food in the main dining room and the specialty restaurants is excellent. The cabin attendants, waitstaff bar staff, the Captain and the entire crew were wonderful. The shows and all of the entertainment was top notch, it was comparable to New York City Broadway show. I am planning another Royal Caribbean cruise within the next 3 months.
