Review summary

Hope Royal Caribbean would drop the covid test policy for kid under 5. It just wasting time to test again and waited too long at the port. If there is indoor pool for kids would be great. Food need improvement!

Embarkation

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5
Windjammer and Main dinning food are just okay, not much changed everyday. Some food you see at windjammer will have on the menu in main dinning room, will get bore after 2 days. Love all the chocolate dessert, not too sweet (I only ate chocolate), and bread are my favorite too! Avocado toast with crab meat on top is must have every morning breakfast. My wife hate New York strip steak.

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5
One of my kid just 4 yr old, many things can not play on the ship, water park just too small. Ice staking only allow 20mins.

I had the same issue with my 2 and 3 yrs Children and them not having enough for them to do on the Adventures of the Seas. The water park area was limited to where they could play because they're in swim diapers (I did that for precaution they go into the pool at home with no pull ups but out of respect of others hey you never know). We couldn't use Ocean Adventure because the kids are in pull-ups and are not completely 💯 potty trained including using the bathroom unattended without adult. Sorry I need to make sure there clean. So they cannot use that program. On August 4th through the 9th going to Bermuda it was a A slight disappointment from what I remember with Royal Caribbean. Food quality was not there nor the selection. You could tell they where short stuffed but the staff that they had were incredible that's the only reason I would return.
