We chose this Cruise as a last minute thing for some reasons related to an upcoming Medical procedure. Our only option with a guaranteed inside cabin. The cabin was okay as far as storage goes, the bed was a little too firm, and the switch to the bathroom is on the outside. Therefore every time someone into the bathroom at night it lit up the entire room. This was our third time on Royal caribbean, and our first time cruising in 38 months. Very disappointing that there was noise from older teenagers down the hall every night after midnight which woke us up several times a night. We did call security two or three times, they would come by and supposedly do something but it would start up again going sometimes latest 3:00 a.m. we also stopped a guest services and told them hoping that might carry a little more weight but it did not. It really makes me question sailing on Royal Caribbean again because of their lack of action with enforcing the rules. The ship itself was very nice and easy to navigate. The food was average at best. The service was okay. We did enjoy the two ports and their private island was very nice. I'm getting on and off the ship or probably the best things about this cruise. Very quick on and off. The entertainment was above average. It's really kind of disappointing when a cruise line prefers to let children run around and ruin it for other people.

Cabin Review

Lots of storage. But that poor design with the light switch outside the bathroom. Bed too firm too. Toilet stopped working one night at 10pm, fixed quickly.
