Creator's Key Takeaways

This was our first cruise with Royal Caribbean.

Word on the street is to avoid cabins on deck two forward because of anchor chain noise.

The elevators are pretty spacious, but they took longer to arrive than most ships I've been on.

The sauna and steam rooms are in the men's and women's locker rooms and are complimentary.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Avoid cabins on deck two forward due to anchor chain noise.
Avoid cabins on deck three aft under the galley due to cooking activity.
Try the complimentary sauna and steam rooms in the locker rooms.
Get to the theater early to secure a good seat.
Set card limits for kids using the arcade's cashless system.
