A Wonderful Cruise
BACKGROUND: My wife and I are frequent cruisers, taking 3-4 each year. We have sailed on Royal Caribbean, Disney and Carnival. In our early 50s, we enjoy a relaxed pace on our cruises, fine dining and appreciate excellent customer service. With Royal Caribbean, we enjoy Crown and Anchor Diamond status.
ARRIVAL/BOARDING: We've always found leaving from Tampa on Royal Caribbean to be an absolute breeze and this trip was no exception. The few extra dollars for valet parking is well worth the price for the convenience. We arrived about 4 hours prior to sailing. Security lines were about average but check-in was very quick. After the obligatory "Welcome aboard" photo, we were on the gangway and on-board without delay.
Cabin Review
Junior Suite
Cabin offered lots of space. Walk-in closet and the full bath were great. Cabin is under Windjammer Restaurant and very noisy when carts are being moved in early morning and late evening. Sounded like a thunderstorm each night.
