Review summary

First and last cruise for RCCL. I would have expected better than what it was but you don’t know until you try it.

Embarkation

4 out of 5

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5

Giving it 2 because the speciality dining was fabulous. The main dining room was horrible from the food to the service. They waiters use carts instead of trays and constantly hit the back of my chair. We only ate the first night in the main dining and made other arrangements for the remaining nights. The menus did not make any sense and did not flow very well.

Onboard Activities

1 out of 5

Entertainment

1 out of 5

The ship seriously lacks in entertainment from the sail away party, the nightly shows (or lack of) and the DJs were terrible.

Children's Programs

Did not travel with child

Service and Staff

4 out of 5

Room Steward, Ms. Mary, was fabulous and all the waiters in the Duck and Dog Pub were outstanding!

Ship Quality

1 out of 5

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Cabin was great but the balcony was not very clean and maintenance even did a cleaning during the cruise and still not up to standards.

Ship tip

Find another ship unless you have low expectations.

I’ve been on several Royale Carribean Cruise Lines and my favorite was the Oasis. The bigger ships are so nice. I have to say I enjoyed every one. I’m not sure what your ship was like, but so far, every ship I have been on was phenomenal. I also went on Carnival Cruises and Royal beats them by far!

Really tired of the constant complainers. Maybe you expect too much Probably. Cruising is not for you.

I would guess that somebody told you that RCCL was the best there ever was and you had too high expectations. You weren't on the best ship in their fleet, but you also weren't on a tramp steamer. One star ratings seem excessive.

23 years old, so she is in the twilight era. Last refurbished in 2018, so about due again.

You picked an old, small ship. You shouldn't form a judgment about Royal Caribbean's entire fleet based on one ship.
