Review summary

Overall, it was a great experience! Pros... cleanliness, service, fun! Cons...drink package expense, mandatory gratuities, getting to excursions at docks, lack of TV shows (only a handful of TV shows to watch, though that's not what you go on a cruise for).

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Pretty good! Smooth.

Yes, very clean and well- maintained.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Size was good, balcony was nice. Bed was huge, but nice. Good nights sleep. Bathroom was adequate, though, I noticed there were no kleenex offered. Not sure if that was on purpose or not, but not a big deal to us.

Ship tip

Soda is not complimentary. Definitely need to purchase the soda package ahead of time! That was a little confusing and we didn't find that out until onboard and had to pay full price. Thought it would still be offered whether you purchased it or not, like MSC which included it and alcohol in the price. Also, wave rider was only for boogie boarding, not surfing, like they show, or so someone else said. I saw no one doing stand up surfing, unlike what their advertising shows. Gratuities are mandatory. Shouldn't be, if receive bad service. Should be suggested or built into price. However, service was good, so not an issue.

Ports of call

Galveston, Texas

5 out of 5

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

4 out of 5
Had to ask multiple people how to get out to taxi. Had to go around many shops in order to get out to taxi.

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
Same issue with taxi at Cozumel. Had to ask people to find exit to taxi. Not very accommodating for people doing shore excursions through someone other than Royal Caribbean.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Great! Easy.
