Review summary

I enjoyed the cruise, but overall, for me, the ship is too large carrying too many people. That's just my opinion.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Embarkation, with The Key was quick and efficient. Zero issues or concerns.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Since I didn't immediatly get in line to setup our reservations, the earliest dining time was 8:30pm for each night. That's too late. The Windjammer is too small and not open nearly enough for 6000+ passengers.

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5
I only was able to procure reservations for the Aqua show which was amazing.

Entertainment

2 out of 5
Didn't see a single one.

Children's Programs

Did not use any of the programs.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The service and staff were sufficient. Friendly and kind and worked hard.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The ship was clean and beautiful.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Cabin was fine. There were items left behind from previous cruises which I found interesting. With the 2nd bed made, it was difficult to squeeze out to that beautiful extended balcony.

Ship tip

Reservations, Reservations, Reservations.

Ports of call

Galveston, Texas

3 out of 5
Did not really stay or see Galveston.

Coxen Hole, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

4 out of 5
I love Roatan. We enjoyed the Big French Key.

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

4 out of 5
Very small, but enjoyable port. The swimming pool in the shops was a great touch.

Cozumel, Mexico

2 out of 5
The shop owners in Cozumel are too aggressive. Excursions or staying on the ship are my future options for Cozumel.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Very impressed with desembarkation. Quick and efficient. Amazes me how 6000+ people can be disembarked all while 6000+ new patrons are embarking.

Can't agree with you more was on allure of the seas 45 minute wait for dinner . buffet is a joke I think all Royal Caribbean wants to do is sell up charge meals couldn't eat breakfast in the buffet 2 days cuz the line was over an hour

Thanks for sharing your cruise experience and ship tip. Sorry the cruise didn’t meet all your expectations. The largest ships aren’t always the best ships to sail on for many cruisers. Hope your next cruise meets all your expectations.
