Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Windjammer - Most of the same foods served everyday - The majority of the food was barely lukewarm which was disappointing - The staff was really nice and helpful Dinning Room - The bread served was cold and hard, everyday. - Some of the food selections were misleading (e.g. I order a seafood platter that came with fish, scallops, and shrimp. I received what looked like fried fish sticks, 1 deep fried scallop in the shape of a ball, and 2 pieces of very hard small fried pieces of shrimp) - The wait staff was efficient, polite, and accommodating

The cleanliness, size, and overall comfort was good. The sofa looked dirty and was tattered on the ends. The sofa looked very worn and outdated The carpet had stains on them The bed itself had noticeable hard areas

Ship tip

If this is your first cruise, do not compare this ship to all of Royal Caribbean's ships. They have better, and more updated ships. If this is not your first cruise, be mindful that the experience may not meet the standard of your previous experience(s) on a previous ship with this cruise line. But you will enjoy your time nonetheless.

Just returned today from the adventures of the sea. This is also my 4th cruise and thus far my favorite. The entertainment was amazing. Shout out to the cruise director Elvis And activities coordinator and staff. Some of my favorites on the ship were the Latin festival, the 70's dancing in the street party, the cha cha and salsa dance lessons with Petra & George, all White pool party, pajama party, and the belly flop contest. There were good activity options for the entire family. If I were not booked for another cruise for New Years already I would do this cruise again. The ports were amazing although there were a few cancellations due to hurricane Irma. No worries! There is more than enough enjoyable entertainment on board. I will say that The food in the windjammer was hit or miss. And I thought the menu items were limited compared to some of the other ships I've been on with hot dogs hamburgers and reinvented dishes some would refer to as leftovers. The dining room is better and the service excellent. Salad and veggies will be your best friend on this sailing. Overall this was by far my favorite.
