Great cruise.  Food was better than expected.  Decent entertainment.  Wonderful staff.  Only two complaints:  Don't get a table too far from the kitchen because you'll be the last served in the dining room.  If you're late seating, as I was, you'll have a very long meal and get to the after-dinner entertainment late.  Also, I was very disappointed in the way they handled the pool towels.  You were given one per person in your stateroom and you HAD to return it nightly to get a new one or else they threatened to charge you $20.00  I thought that was a bit much.  Also, on sea days, they ran out of towels.  For instance, when I wanted to freshen the towel I had, I handed it in and asked for a new one only to be told they ran out.  I had just handed in my old one so I was now towel-less.  That area DEFINITELY needs improvement.  Otherwise, great excursions, helpful, very nice staff, lots to do, plenty to eat (24/7) and fun, fun, fun!  What a ship!  For us, it all added up to a fabulous vacation, despite the towels.  We can't wait to go
again, and on Royal Caribbean :)

Cruise reviews can be extremely helpful to new and experienced cruisers by giving the cruise vacation consumer's view of various RCCL ships and ports. If you've sailed aboard an RCCL ship, we hope you'll write and tell us about it by using our special form here.  Sincere thanks to those who take the time to do this so that others can have the benefit of shared information and experiences.
