My husband and I had been on a Royal Caribbean cruise once before but it was a much smaller trip with a shorter itinerary. This time was a 7 night cruise with our 3 yr old.

We arrived at the ship a few hours before our scheduled boarding time. This was definitely a good idea because there were so many people and the line outside was rather long. Once we got inside the terminal to check in things moved much faster. We had a grand suite which was a good size for the three of us. The first day we just explored the ship. There was so much to see. The ship is huge. The first day was at sea and we just relaxed by the pool. You really need to get up there early to get chairs.

The wait staff was really nice and very friendly and the food was good.

By far the best part of the cruise was the casino staff. They had us laughing all night. If I had to make a suggestion to Royal Caribbean it would be to do a comedy show featuring the casino staff. The cruise was great and definitely recommend it.
