Review summary

We are accustomed to sailing Celebrity, but chose Royal Caribbean due to Kids Sail Free. Our party thinks it’s a notch below Celebrity, but just slightly. Overall, a very enjoyable cruise, despite occasional lines due to COVID protocols and a fully sold-out ship. We will sail Royal Caribbean again.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Traffic control could be improved, but otherwise seamless.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Food was consistently tasty and well prepared. Would have enjoyed more lunchtime variety at the Windjammer—for example, Asian cuisine.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Pools were nicely maintained and fun. Fitness center served my needs well. We didn’t participate in many of the activities team’s events.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Highlights were Nicola Ward and Rechell Sears. Do not miss either of those headliners! Other headliners were decent. Can’t Stop the Rock was the better production show.

Children's Programs

4 out of 5
My toddlers enjoyed Optix’s open play area. However, hours were very limited.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
As always, excellent. Shout out to Roderick and Marlon in the MDR.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
An older ship, but it carries its age well. It desperately needs more internet satellites. Like, two or three times more.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Met our family’s needs well.

Ship tip

Do not expect fast internet. Do not hesitate to complain about unacceptable speeds and request credit back. They accommodated us.

San Juan, Puerto Rico

My least favorite port. More a chance to go to a CVS or Walgreens.

It's like the Lexus and Toyota. Those real towels in the washroom make it the Lexus, but you know it's all the same Toyota guts.

Thanks for the review. We’ve always had a good experience on Royal Caribbean. The Internet is rarely worth purchasing on any ship.

Very nice overall. Ship was very clean and staff very courteous. Only 2 complaints: over 700 children on board and it appears that some of the preteens and teenagers had no adult supervision. Ran through the halls each night until 3am .
My awesome cruise on Royal Caribbean's Adventure of the seas
Great
