Review summary

For the most part, our cruise experience was amazing. The things we didn't like were mostly personal and not anything Royal Caribbean did or didn't do. When there are more than 6000 people on a cruise ship, it is impossible to please everyone all the time but Royal Caribbean goes above and beyond to make your experience as perfect as it can be.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Flawless and easy!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

The only thing that we completely hated was the smoking casino just outside the main dinning on deck 4. Why have smoking on a ship period?

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

The pools and hot tubs could use a lot of maintenance and some were completely over crowded.

Children's Programs

We didn't have children in our party.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Our waiters were Alexandre and Arcana. They were both amazing and made sure our dining experience was awesome! Our room Stewart was Albert and he kept our stateroom perfect.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5

The ship layout and design is amazing. The only downside for us is the smoking casino is awful and it is located on deck 4 just outside the dining.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Everything about our cabin was perfect. The room size and all the amenities!
