Review summary

A great experience that I would do over and over again.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Some seemingly angry people were quite rude in getting us on the ship but the experience was overall smooth.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
We were given just the absolute best service from Noriel, Aldi, and Nick in the 3rd level dining room. I cannot imagine more attentive, kind, or engaging servers. Dinner each night was one of the highlights of our trip. Royal Caribbean really has a treasure in their staff.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
We enjoyed the pools, every single show (WOW!), and a couple of the games in Blaze.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
All of the stage shows were just incredible. I can't say I super understood the Blue Planet but the performances were stellar. I don't even like musicals but Mama Mia had me humming for a week. And that Aqua show...just so, so impressive!

Children's Programs

No Kiddos

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
I already bragged on our Main Dining Room wait staff but I'll do it again. Noriel, Aldi, and Nick were so amazing. Dilbert, our room steward, was very friendly and responsive as well. We had an issue with our internet and Colston with Voom was quick to fix it. Natasha in Sorrentos was super friendly and we even witnessed her dealing with an irrational and rude customer with the utmost grace. Aaron and Mengna in the main dining room were also fantastic when we ate there for lunch and dinner. The entire Windjammer crew deserves a shoutout as well.

Ship Quality

I don't think you guys let your crew sleep, ever. They were literally up at all hours cleaning and polishing, and even shaving the carpet!

Even with a tiny bit of rain, Maya Key was just paradise

Those shop keepers...man. They verge on harassment and I just wanted to get back on the ship. It was beautiful though!

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
We had such a great day at Paradise Beach and the ease of getting a taxi (our biggest concern) was proven to be no big deal at all.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Super easy, super organized. We were on the road home in no time.
