We had a suite, with a balcony, to see all of the beautiful sites in Alaska. This ship was nothing short of luxurious. The food was wonderful, the elevators were glass so you good look outside when going up or down and the service was A+. We had an 8 year old son with us who totally enjoyed, and looked forward to every day, the events they had for the children. They were kept busy all day long. One of the events was a treasure hunt where they had to explore the entire ship. He actually say more of the ship than we did! DARN!&#13; &#13; In all, we have been on several crusie oines. If you are looking for a cruise were you can be pampered ... this is the one!...

We LOVED sitting in the hot tub, drinking a hot chocolate and watching the snow fall around us on deck! Royal Caribbean is a great cruise line in terms of plenty to do on board as well: Besides the great food, there were movies, live shows, gambling (at sea), lectures, crafts, dance classes, exercise equipment, a spa... This is a cruise where a cabin with a window is WORTH the money!...

From the point of check-in to check-out we were catered to like dignitaries. Once on the cruise you want to check every nook and cranny of the ship. But not so fast; first everyone is "all hands on deck" to run through the evacuation drill. It only takes about 20 minutes and is hardly an inconvenience. The ship is teeming with helping hands and has something for every person in the family. Amenities from Ice Skating rinks, shows, shopping to on deck activities around the pool. And the food! Lets just say if you go hungry and any point, at any hour of the day/night, its your own fault. We were never disappointed in food quality or selection. Here again there is something for everyone.</p><p>We chose an inside cabin. We are a bit budget conscience and chose to save money by sleeping in the most basic accommodations. You're never in room anyways. But I have to say I've never slept better in my entire life....</p>...

The boat was beautiful, everything you can imagine to do. The food was great.If I had the chance I would do it again.</em></p></blockquote>...

It was my husband's first cruise. We had a wonderful experience and would recommend it highly. There is activities every single day to attend if you are interested and well worth the time to see or do. If you like to just sit back, relax, and watch that is fine also. We had a balcony cabin and would highly recommend that also. It is a little more money but well worth the difference. We did alot of whale watching and just sitting on the balcony and relaxing while asea. The Crew is great also. They are there for you every personal need. All you have to do is ask....
