Review summary

This is my second cruise with Royal Caribbean. I love this line. It has the right amount of everything, fun, entertainment, food. Only two dress up nights which is just the right amount. You can do everything, or do nothing. Everything was great. I can say enough about it. Everyone is willing to please and to make it the best experience. Thank you All. I will be back again.

Embarkation

3 out of 5
Unfortunately, lines were really long and it was hot and humid. Not fast enough.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
OMG! The food was unbelievable. You could have as much as you wish. This is the time to try all the things you normally wouldn't order. Service was impeccable! Never had to ask for anything. Waiters, Willford, Clive, Sonny and Ravi were the Best.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Loved the gym. Always was able to get a lounge chair by the pool. My experience on other cruise lines, this did not happen. Movies by the pool as the sun was setting with a drink; that's my idea of vacation.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The shows never stopped. Always something happening. Comedy show, ice show, game shows, parade, 70's dance show were all great.

Children's Programs

Did not bring children

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Our room steward was great. Room was always clean and loved the towel animals she left every night. Our waiters, Willford, Clive, Sonny and Ravi were the best! They made our cruise so much more rewarding. All of the staff are very hard working and always aiming to please!

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Bathroom was always clean along with hallways, elevators, etc. The only problem I found was with the elevators. It was tough getting an elevator sometimes. Not sure if some were not working at all. Had to take the stairs a lot but I guess that was not a bad thing!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
It was comfortable, clean and had plenty of room for clothes. Showers are small but that is what you get on a cruise. Loved the balcony. Another place to escape and read.

Ship tip

Don't pack as much as we did. It's not necessary. Two dressy outfits, a couple bottoms and more tops to change it up. Bring neutral colored shoes, a black, a tan, sneakers and flip flops.

Ports of call

San Juan, Puerto Rico

4 out of 5
Loved Puerto Rico. Did so many things while in Puerto Rico. Used "Uber" a lot. So much cheaper than taxi's. They knew where to go and were knowledgeable of the area. The only problem is they are not allowed near the hotels and in the airport. We visited El Yunque Rainforest. I highly recommend seeing it. You must also see Old San Juan.

Kralendijk, Bonaire

4 out of 5
Very pretty but mostly for scuba diving and snorkeling.

Willemstad, Curacao

5 out of 5
I did not know what to expect in Curacao but it was so pretty. They have a bridge on a pontoon that opens and closes.

Oranjestad, Aruba

4 out of 5
Aruba was really nice except that it is very dry and brown. That's a good thing though. The chance of having rain is slim. Visit the Resort area. Very pretty.

Philipsburg, St. Maarten

5 out of 5
I loved St. Maarten. So green and lush with beautiful beaches.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
It was much easier leaving the ship. Our flight was later in the afternoon so we stayed on ship until 10 am. Everyone was gone and it made finding luggage and leaving much easier.
