First time on Royal Caribbean. Have sailed Princess, NCL, Carnival, and Celebrity before. I was on a four night out of Tampa with friends, all in our 30s. In summary, I would sail this ship again for this type of cruise. It was not fancy or terribly impressive but it facilitated a good time with good friends. If you get a good deal and are interested in that type of trip, I would recommend.
Pros:
- Embarkation / debarkation - excellent. I am the idiot who unwisely scheduled a 10AM departing flight. Luckily it was no problem. I lined up at 6:30 AM and was one of the first off the ship. Still, it was stressful so I do not recommend. Both check in and check out were under 10 minutes (we arrived at noon). Staff was helpful.
I got this cabin through the upgrade program. It was near the elevators which was great. I had no problem with noise. In general the cabin was a bit worn but clean. Bed is near the window.
