Review summary

Not our best experience with Royal Caribbean. Solarium was closed for 4 days leaving the pool and its 2 hot tubs and bistro also closed, Beach pool, 2 hot tubs, cantilever hot tub were also closed for the entire cruise. No apologies or compensation were offered for having a completely booked ship but not informing anyone that major venues would be closed.

Disappointed in Royal Caribbean Cruise

Great time

Wonderful family vacation. However, I question the RCCL business decision to book nearly 6,000 passengers on a sailing that had the solarium closed until Wednesday and one of the other adult swimming pools closed the entire cruise.
