What tremendous holiday. This ship had everything. the food was ver good and available whenever i wanted it with little or no queuing. Entertainment was plentiful and of a high standard. I didn't go on any trips , preferring to arrange my own. where the ship really excelled was when I was told that i had influenza. I was told to spend 2 days in my cabin. i wan shocked and horrified . I need not have worried. I was told I could have 24 hour room service free use of the mini bar, and I would be refunded with the costs of any film that i might want to see. In addition to this i was not charged for my medical bills and I have been told that if I take another trip with royal Caribbean international I will be refunded pro rata for the 2 days that I was kept in my cabin. The ship is very stable and was only a little rocky on a choppy crossing of the Bay of Biscay. The ship had many facilities although at 56 I think I am a little old to try the climbing wall and the water feature on the top deck!. The crew were uniformly friendly and I will give this cruise a ten out of ten marking
