Enjoyable time on a beautiful ship. Food was plentiful and very good in the Windjammer and it was inot oftencrowded. We didn’t eat at any of the specialty restaurants. There is a definite attempt by Royal Carribean to encourage you to eat in the specialty restaurants by offering repetitive menus when eating in the dining room. The dining service was excellent and the food was very good, except often the same choices each night. Our beds were comfortable, the room noisy and the ports of call great. We did excursions through the ship except for St. Petersburg where we went with a private company. All excursions were great except Helsinki. The entertainment was fair except for two shows, we didn’t like the ships singers..the Russian dancers and the Ukrainian circus pair. After two Royal CarribeAn cruises back to back, we are ready to try a different cruise line for something new.
Clean rooom. There was a banging noise quite often. Sounded like someone was hammering some kind of metallic structure.
Spent two days, nights prior to the cruise. Stayed in Hotel C which has fantastic breakfast buffet. Rooms are modern, though small. It’s 60 paces from the Arlanda express downtown station and 10-15 minute walk to City Hall and Gamla Stan.. Great city to visit. Lots to see and do...City Hall, Djursgarden ferry to Vasa, Gamla Stan.
