Wonderful From Beginning To End!

First cruise for husband and I with Royal Caribbean and first Mediterranean cruise. Ship was beautiful and clean. Always saw someone cleaning/wiping/mopping/sweeping etc...Crew was amazing, so friendly and helpful. Never felt crowded and often wondered where all the people were.

I had heard the cabins were smaller than what we have had on other ships but didn't notice any difference. We had a balcony room and had enough storage space for all our clothes and suitcases. Service twice a day, wonderful steward.

We had lunch at Chops and it was delicious. We tried Johnny Rockets as I'd never had it and it was good. Way too much food and wouldn't pay extra for it again but nice to try once. Ate in the MDR the rest of the time for dinners and food was so good, service impeccable. We also ate breakfast in the MDR each morning. Two choices-buffet or ala carte. We did both but preferred buffet (in MDR). We didn't eat a full meal in Windjammer (casual buffet) but did go up a couple times for a 'sweet', later in the evening.

We went to several shows and loved them. Had seen some negative reviews about Cats, but we enjoyed it. Had never seen before. Aqua show wonderful, comedian funny, just can't say enough about the entertainment.

This was a very port heavy cruise with only one sea day. We used Rome in Limo for our excursions. Cannot stress enough how happy we were with them. Prompt, courteous, knowledgeable, and great communication. We chose private tours and was well worth the money.

Cruise was a great way to get a sampling of several cities and to see where we would like to go back to and spend more time.
