Review summary

We like Royal Caribbean, but since we last cruised, they have skimped on entertainment especially. They need to vary on board activities, and hold events in venues big enough to hold everyone. We should meet our steward, and we need faster service in the room. But we plan to cruise with RC again, so we did enjoy ourselves.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Simple, easy, fun, and truly quick.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Mostly, the food and service were excellent. A bit too crowded at times, and sometimes the planning was off for times, but otherwise terrific.

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5
We liked the onboard activities but many were in the Imperial Room, too small, so everyone could not possibly fit comfortably.

Entertainment

2 out of 5
Only 45 minutes. One of the evenings, the penultimate show, was humiliatingly poorly directed and choreographed. The final evening was JUST a comedian. They used to have more professional shows, and this time, they went for cheap entertainment.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
We didn't ever meet our steward, nor did we get extra pillows, although we called twice, but mostly fine in restaurants for sure. Our toiled clogged three times and we had to call. No one ever answers, but they call back quickly.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Small, but we liked it. The balconies were sold out unfortunately.

Ship tip

Easy on, easy off. Park in the lot.

Ports of call

Galveston, Texas

5 out of 5

Cozumel, Mexico

3 out of 5
Our excursion, Mayan ruins and visiting a chocolate factory, was dull.

Bummer. Our steward on the Adventure was always around and great. We did find it took a long time for the shower to get warm.
