Boarding the ship at Southampton at 12.00 noon was quick and easy, due to the online check in we did, and would recommend doing. The staterooms were available at 1.00pm so we took the time to take some photos of the ship while it was still empty. First impression, the centrum is beautiful, with the marble staircase and glass lifts and lovely champagne bar, where there is live music every night, a nice place for a pre-dinner drink. Our stateroom deck seven room 7000 was very nice and clean and plenty of cupboard and wardrobe space, good size balcony. The ship was very clean through out and hand rails were constantly being cleaned. The two story Romeo and Juliet dining room was very impressive and the long windows with the view over the sea lovely, the food was excellent and the waiting staff first class and very helpful and friendly. The windjammer buffet style cafe is also a good standard of food, but thought there were more cold dishes than hot, but we did only use it a few times to be fair, very good selection of deserts though. The sauna bar did good pizza, burgers, hot dogs and chips, and sometimes there were barbeques on the pool deck. The Anchors Away lounge was very nicely decorated and had some good entertainment going on. The Schooner bar we found to be too Smokey, but we are ex smokers, it seemed to be quite a popular place. The Viking crown lounge at the top of the ship was just fantastic, with lovely views, we watched the sun go down, what a lovely sight. Later on in the evening there are disco's here. That's entertainment theatre, again is nicely designed with all seats giving a good view of the stage, we found the shows to be very good and lasting about an hour long. The casino royal was excellent with a good selection of slots, roulette and gaming tables, casino staff were also very helpful. The main pool was smallish but the indoor spa pool was larger and beautifully set out. The legend of the links golf putting green was rather good and the rock climbing wall okay if you like that sort of thing. We never used the fitness centre or the spa, which I have heard to be quite good from other guests. We went on five tour excursions and thought them all to be very good, and worth the money we spent on them. Our cabin was kept very clean through out our cruise, and the cruise compass which was left each evening in the stateroom to be full of information for the next days events. The ship overall was very nice, but being ten years old there were a few signs of this here and there if you really looked for it, but we were delighted with the whole cruise, and the excellent service of all the ships staff which was first class. We would definitely cruise with Royal Caribbean again in the future.
