Creator's Key Takeaways

This ship may be 23 years old, but the energy not even close as both young and old are having a great time.

For a 23-year-old ship, this is showing a little bit of its age, but it's clean and neat.

My prime rib was a little tough, a little stringy, but the flavor was phenomenal.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Call Royal Caribbean directly to set up airport transfers as doing it online may not work well.
Book transportation through the cruise line for easy bag delivery to your stateroom.
