Review summary

Overall, it was a good cruise. We had already planned our next cruise but booked a December cruise while onboard.

Embarkation

3 out of 5
It was confusing. No one seemed to know what was going on. We were sent one direction, only to be turned around to go back.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The main dining room was excellent. Though this cruise was held during Lent and we felt some of the meatless options to be lacking on Friday.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The ice show and Mamma Mia were excellent.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
With the exception of our room steward, who we almost never saw, couldn't tell you his name. We asked for body lotion, which is usually in the bathroom, and we never received it. We had to ask for soap. The dispenser in the shower was labeled specifically shampoo/conditioner. We asked for a bar of soap, we got five, and body lotion which never came. But another service was excellent. We would like to mention the following crew members for the exceptional, friendly service: Josip, Carlo, and Richlin in the Rising Tide Bar. Roo in the Cruise Director Staff, Marcelle in the Diamond Lounge, Jerome, Prasanna, and Neeraj in the Main Dining Room, Cristiano the Diamond Concierge, and Yevhenia in the Solarium Cafe. The service overall was very good, but we wanted to mention these folks especially.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
The cabin was fine, as expected.

Ports of call

Ft. Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida

2 out of 5
The airport pickup was confusing, long, and unpleasant. I hope it is better in the future. Usually, we find someone in the baggage claim area with an RCCL sign so we know you are there and they tell us where to go. This time we had to wander further and further from the baggage area until we found the transfer folks.

Cozumel, Mexico

4 out of 5

Coxen Hole, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

4 out of 5
The port itself was lacking, but our excursion was excellent.

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico Did not visit port

Weather kept us from this port.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
We seemed to get out late for our flight, we made it, but it was stressful.
