What a beautful ship! Even with the full boat of over 3,000 passengers I never felt crowded or pushed.
Getting off and on was a breeze. Main Dining Room was outstanding. Waiters were execellent as
expected. Cabin attendent was also execellent. Every lounge and main area was clean and quite
beautful. Inside Cabin on 7 deck was on the small side but adequate. The stabilizers worked well most of
the time you never felt it was a boat. Only rarely did you feel boat move (first night out of Mexico). Shows
were basically good to execellent. Shore stops were great... Dunn's falls, Maya Ruins...Food was
avalable almost all the time... Would definitely recommend this cruise.... maybe not for elderly as many
children onboard. Food in the Main DR was excellent and good elsewhere. Our table in the Main DR
was beautiful... right next to a large window facing the ocean!
Ok... Now for my minor complaints....The Grand Buffet is scheduled on late Thursday night the day
before you must rise at 6AM to get ready for the Mexico Mayan Ruins (a large majority of ship goes on).
I missed one of the main highlights because of this. Chairs being saved at pool side.. Being charged for
soda at lunch time (somehow I think the Cruise Line could afford this). Careful about keeping track of
your charge card as drinks and other things can quickly add up at the end of the week. It was nice you
could keep track of your charges on your account via the TV in your cabin. It was nice to have food out
on their private island and also the box lunch on the Mayan trip was also appreciated. Also used
Room-Service one time which worked out quite well. The luggage did not arrive at cabin until 30 minutes
AFTER leaving port and 2 minutes before first dinner.

This cruise was wonderful. It was our honeymoon cruise and the first cruise experience for both my
husband and I. Almost every aspect of the cruise surpassed my wildest expectations. The only part that
wasn't great was the embarking - we used the air/sea program through Royal Carribean and found every
bit of the process disorganized. We arrived in Miami on Sat night, a day before ship departure. The RC
personell who were checking through all the people who had arrived for this cruise took a LONG time, we
spent a lot of time just waiting for them to get the many hangups they encountered straightened out. Some
peole weren't on the list, some were, some put in hotels that Royal Carribean wasn't using that week. When
we finally boarded the bus to go to the hotel, the bus driver took us to the wrong hotel. It said SOFITEL on
the building plain as day, he insisted it was the RADISSON. Finally, a passenger walked in, confirmed at the
front desk that the hotel WASNT the Radisson and made the bus driver take us to the right hotel. At the
hotel, they changed the registration room without telling anyone so the majority of us went to the wrong
room (after arriving 20 mins early to avoid the line only having to show up late in the correct room that had
formed a VERY long line by that time). When we got aboard the ship, it departed 4 hours late. From that
point forward, everything was absolutely fabulous. The ship in itself is miraculous and jaw dropping. It's
beauty is overwhealming. We loved all of our excursions - jetskiing at Port Labadee, climbing Dunn's River
Falls in Jamaica, shopping and snorkling in Cozumel. The food in the dining room and the wait staff was
fabulous. They really got to know us on an individual basis. Some tips for 1st time cruisers: 1) get your
waterproof cameras at home - much cheaper 2) don't skimp on bringing formal clothes 3) book your shore
exursions first thing when you get on the ship -they fill up fast.
After this cruise, my husband and I don't want to take any other type of vacation! Royal Carribean is a
fantastic cruise line, and the Voyager is a ship so impressive it made any other ships we docked next too
look like wimpy little toys =)
