This was my husband and my 2nd time on this ship and she is still a beauty. The ship is beautiful and still looks new and the staff is great...happy and helpful in every way. Staterooms are typical of cruise ships, featuring a flat screen TV and surprisingly, more than enough closet and shelf space than we needed. Water still leaked onto the floor when we showered b/c there was a little space between the lip for the shower and the wall and that is the only thing I can possibly complain about, and its really more of an inconvenience for our kindly cabin attendant than us. Our cabin attendant, Igor was so trustworthy, consistent and nice; he took great care of us and was always available for anything we needed.

Royal Caribbean's Voyager and Freedom class ships features a Royal Promenade, which pretty much looks like a cobblestone street with shops, bars and restaurants in the center of the ship; our favorite spot on the Promenade was VINTAGES wine bar which featured wines from all over the world. The staff at Vintages Sylvia and Hendra were eager to make us comfortable and Sylvia was simply amazing; she is such a sweet and genuine person; we truly enjoyed our conversations with her and she was very knowledgeable of the wines. They have complimentary tapas at Vintages and offered chocolate covered strawberries and other sweets with our dessert wines. What a gem.

On Deck 12 was the Spa. One of the reasons my husband and I travel on Royal Caribbean is because they have fantastic service in their spas...their masseuses must have experience prior to working on the ship and then go for even more extensive training once hired -this means, you are not getting one of those "fluffy, frou-frou" massages; when they say deep tissue, they mean it. That said, we had a couples massage with Jenny and Estefania and they both did amazing work. My husband and I go to spas frequently (I go monthly) and he said it was by far the best massage he's ever had in his life. Their acupuncturist Toby was informative, kind and he even remembered to get a roll for my ankles to make sure I was comfortable. I know some people think acupuncture is not for them and I used to think the same thing, but if there's ever a time to try it, its on a cruise because you have the time to relax and Toby is your guy -he is a miracle worker.
