Creator's Key Takeaways
We've been on this ship before and we have to say it was one of the worst Royal Caribbean ships we've been on.
I would give her a solid 6 out of 10. But now, after a jaw-dropping $100 million makeover, is it finally worth sailing again?
I am so impressed. That $100 million has gone far, really far in the ship's public areas.
We've had a really, really solid good time. She's a really nice ship.
