Review summary

First time cruisers on Royal Caribbean. Having travel on Disney, Carnival and Norwegian, we can say, for the price and amenities, that Royal Caribbean is our favorite for adulting. It will most likely be our "go-to" cruise line in the future when considering another cruise.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Smooth and easy. Can't ask for more

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
We enjoyed every meal from the dining rooms and the buffets to the island snack shacks. Bartenders were plentiful and very fast.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
The Solarium was the best place to get away from the kiddie crowds.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The Aqua show was awesome, the comedy club (18+) was great, and we really enjoyed seeing ice skaters on a ship in the middle of the ocean. The Crazy Quest was.... CRAZY!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Never a complaint. Everything was attended to perfectly and if a problem arose, it was resolved quickly and in a courteous manner

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Very cool to have a park setting, a carousel, 2 wave surfing machine and a wide and useful promenade.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
A little but cramped, and not enough outlets, and the ones that were available were a bit wonky. Time to install some USB-C's near the beds. And why are there still iPOD interfaces in the clock/radio? Outdated to say the least. Overall, the room was clean and useful, staff always did a great job getting the room dressed each day.

Ship tip

See ALL of the ship. Travel from bow to stern on as many floors as you can, there's always something new or different to be found.

Ports of call

Port Canaveral, Florida

5 out of 5
Embarkation port.

Nassau, Bahamas

5 out of 5
Nice Straw Market. Police presence at the port site seemed pretty good.

Perfect Day At Coco Cay, Bahamas

5 out of 5
What a great little island to dock! Plenty of bathrooms, bars and eateries, even if you don't spend the money on the private sections of the island. It was a perfect day there.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
Weird is the only word I can user for this. We had to snake a line through a dining room and through the staff kitchen set-up area in order to disembark. It would seem that there should be a smoother way to do this.
