Review summary

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Very Good

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
We ate at Windjammer for Breakfast and lunch. Both were fine. We ate dinner mostly in the dining room, and it was good. Staff are great, food is mediocre. We did Giovanni's table. It is expensive compared to other lines, to do upgraded dining, but really liked the experience in that restaurant.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Various for all interests. You won't be bored, with trivia, pool games, music and of course shows at night.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Fun overall. One comedian stunk, but to be expected.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
Everyone but the shore excursion team were wonderful. This actually made the cruise much more enjoyable.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
Ship is a little beaten up. Balcony and room not the cleanest.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Very fine, minus some cleanliness problems. Bed sheets were dirty when bed was made, which was a little off-putting.

Ship tip

Enjoy the good parts that Royal Caribbean makes it fun. Be vigilant that your cabin is clean. Don't trust the shore excursion people to be helpful

Ports of call

Ft. Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida

5 out of 5
Just explored prior to departure day before.

George Town, Grand Cayman

5 out of 5
Beautiful. Cabs are a little nefarious and drop you at beaches that pay them, and then also get you to pay them. Just pick a beach, and do your research ahead.

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

5 out of 5
Such an amazing port. Pleasantly surprised. Tour of Chacchoben was awesome. Exploring town before and after was fun too. Water is gorgeous.

Cozumel, Mexico

3 out of 5
Not very fun. Far away from actual town. Tour cancelled with no notice and left us stranded to make other plans on own. Bad experience this time. Have been multiple times before.

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
Highly disorganized. Team on the boat have no system, and it is a mass departure and confusion. Bags not ready and port staff are incapable, rude, and don't care.
