No problemo! Glad to share my thoughts, though do remember this is just my opinion. I may have different tastes or I may share the same likes, still theres no vacation like a cruise with family and friends. :D

Jimmy Thanks for your review... You bring up points that we were concerned with when they announced they were going to build this mega ship. Now that you have experienced it .. What one or two things would you recommend to RCCL in order to correct the flaws that you mentioned?

Jimmykaboots,

Thanks for taking the time to write a review. I found it very informative and feel the same way as you do about the port of Miami. It's really busy. I try to avoid it and leave from Fort Lauderdale instead.

I'm glad you had somewhat of a good time and am sorry that your experience with Royal Caribbean was not wholly a pleasant one. I hope your next cruise is more satisfying.

I look forward to hearing from you in the future.

Thanks for the review, Jimmy. I totally understand about the problem with the elevators. The ships keep getting bigger. but there are not more elevators on them. To add to the problem, there always seems to be at leadt one elevator down on each bank. Hopefully, as the new ships get bigger, there will be more elevators added.

Jimmy, that is a very fine review you wrote. It's refreshing to hear an informed teenager's opinion of a cruise. Great Job! alt text

Ah thank you all so much for even reading haha, my english teacher thinks I write horrible since English is my second language. Ahhh for RCCL, I'd suggest they build transparent glass elevators on each side of the bridge. After all they have a bridge above another bridge on the royal promenade. So thats like level 3,4,5 there are bridges right on top of each other. At each corner of the bridge they could build elevators instead of the current pillor decorations they have. If the elevators were glass all around that would be neat, using a hydrolic life system underneath and a pulley system above it. The riders could see all around them 360 degrees. Of course it's just an idea. A lobster dinner ON the formal night would be great since we're dressed up so nicely anyways. O a great thing about the ship, there were so many Canadians! On my previous cruises my family and I were the only canadians. The cruise director would shout Canada! and my family would jump up screaming YEAAAAA! then we'd look around and say EHHHH?! Since there were no other Canadians lol, this ship there were alot. Alot of americans on the ships, but I guess it mostly depends on where the ship is going. But really alot of Americans, English, and europeans.
