Review summary

Overall, this was one of the best cruises I've been on. The ship was amazing, had fun at most of the ports, and the people we meet were awesome. Jimmy, the cruise director, was so energetic and so much fun. Definitely a go-to ship.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Embarkation was a breeze with the RCCL app. The process was quick, no lines, and we were on the ship in 10-15 minutes.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
The food quality was excellent, the waiters in the MDR were friendly and efficient, and the Windjammer surprisingly wasn't overcrowded. The only issue I had was the My Time dining reservations. We booked reservations months in advance, confirmed with them on Day 1, and they still had a hard time seating us. It took 3 days for them to get our reservations squared away.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
This ship is filled with fun activities from the rock-climbing wall, to mini-golf, zip lining, a carousel, and ice skating . Never a dull moment!!

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The shows were amazing, especially the water show at the aqua theatre and the ice skating show.

Children's Programs

My daughter LOVED the teen hangout. She met so many new friends and was excited about all the games, challenges and prizes they could win.

Cabin / Stateroom

Booked a boardwalk balcony for this cruise. The room was a decent size, great views of the carousel, aqua theatre, and water. It was a little noisy at night while the shows at the aqua theatre were going on, but quiet afterwards.

Honduras was amazing. My family did a private excursion with Daniel Johnson's Monkey and Sloth Hangout. Best excursion!! We had a personal driver who took us around the entire island. She stopped at some shopping areas, the chocolate factory, and started with us at the hangout. We got to hold and take pictures with the monkeys, sloths, and some parrots.

@dp31824 no charge for the teen hangout. They can check themselves in. No adults allowed in the teen area so it's definitely drop off.

Is there a charge for the teen hangout? And is it drop off? Thanks in advance!
