This was my 2nd Royal Caribbean cruise. We chose an inside cabin for the first time. The ship is beginning to show some wear but overall it is very clean and well laid out. One of the bathroom lights went out but was easily remedied with a quick phone call to maintenance. The staff was friendly with the main dining room staff being outstanding. We were located in the forward part of the ship so we had to walk the entire length of the ship to eat since all of the dining areas are aft. Try to book a room in the mid or aft part of the ship. Elevators seemed to take forever when we were trying to get somewhere on time. We did Chops on our first night and this was a very nice experience to start off the cruise. The food is good and the view is fantastic. We did the character breakfast on the first morning. It was enjoyable but I would not do it again due to the expense. The mattresses in our room were hard and uncomfortable. At the end of the cruise, in a family members cabin, I noticed they had provided them with a cushion on top of their mattress. I wish I would have known this was available! I asked to have ice in the cabin every night but only received it 3 or 4 nights. I purchased the premium coffee package. I would not recommend it unless you cant live without a latte. There is only one location on the ship to get it and you get tired of waiting in line. I was given a card for them to cross off each time I used it. I only used it 11 out of 15 times and that was with help from other family. I purchased 2 twelve packs of water prior to boarding. This was way to much for us to use. Then they charged me for a bottle of the minibar water even though I left 3 of the same bottles of water on board. Ice skating show, On Air show, theater shows were outstanding especially Saturday Night Fever and the comedian. The on deck movies were nice but would have preferred if they showed one every night and they had different movies each night. The pools were great but they were all overcrowded on at sea days and it was hard to find a deck chair. The kids zone water area was very nice and there are plenty of kid activities.
