Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Johnny Rockets: Breakfast- (which is complimentary ONLY at breakfast) we had breakfast here once, the food was great, we both got omelette with bacon inside instead of ham. If you wanted to change up what you’re ordering the servers were always really good about it. The food tastes great and service was very good. Lunch: To have lunch it’s a charge of about $12ish per person. The cost includes an 18% “gratuity” ****PLEASE TIP YOUR SERVERS THEY DONT GET THE ACTUAL 18% THAT ROYAL CARRIBBEAN CHARGES, THEY SPLIT IT WITH THE OTHER SERVERS*** Anyways, the service was very good and attentive she kept checking up on us and made sure everything was hot and fresh. The appetizer you start off with are unlimited if you didn’t know. Best onion rings!! I got the original burger with cheese, it’s very filling and I didn’t even eat half. My boyfriend got the burger with 2 patty’s, bacon, and lots of onion rings. He’s a pretty big guy and he barely finished. On top of all of that, you also get dessert. I was too full but my boyfriend got the apple pie and ice cream which was very tasty. Don’t get me started on the milkshakes. They’re $6 after the gratuity that RC charges and they’re worth every penny. One of my favorite drink on board. Thank goodness we had the drink package. Wind Jammers: Breakfast- If you’re a big breakfast person, I highly recommend eating here in the morning. There’s a lot to choose from. A quick tip, get up early so you can get a seat right next to the windows so you can see the ocean or the ports you stop at Lunch- Personally for us, we didn’t like having lunch here. They do have a huge selection but things just didn’t taste right. I’m a huge pasta girl and it breaks my heart but overall this cruise does not make pasta good so I’d stay away from it Park Cafe: Lunch: I got a grilled cheese and it wasn’t melted one bit, probably because of the lunch rush. They had great potato salad and if your health conscious I’d really recommend this place. Main Dinning Area: I cannot say enough great things about the food. We sat at 539 on deck 4, our servers Joe and John went above and beyond for us. My boyfriend briefly mentioned he really liked Indian food and the next day along with our appetizers they brought out a few dishes from India. Very great service, and if you’re contemplating spending extra money on the specialty dining, don’t. Save your money because the main dining is amazing and you won’t be disappointed. When it comes to drinking, we had the refreshments package, so everything but alcohol, and Starbucks was included. There’s the pool bar I believe it’s called solar bar or something along those lines, don’t go there. The bartender’s we’ve met and interacted with were rude and annoyed save yourself the trouble.

Service and Staff

I really want to give this five stars but on our last night a member of the crew so so rude and nasty towards me, but other than that the crew was so phenomenal!! So sweet and went above and beyond, we loved meeting people from different countries and learning about them.

Cabin / Stateroom

For an inside room we had a very large space. Maurice was out attending who was always cleaning our room and keeping everything tidy. He was kind and always helped out if we needed it.

Ship tip

Please treat the crew with respect, say hello, ask how they’re doing because remember they’re the ones who make your vacation so great. Make sure you’re tipping people accordingly, they work very hard
