Review summary

Wouldn’t do it against. This is the first Royal Caribbean Cruise that I have felt “nickled and dimed” Sorrento’s Pizza was outstanding! The best thing about this cruise was being with my family.

Embarkation

1 out of 5
Security staff member (Allied Universal Security) was impatient, loud and rude. Might be considered “elder abuse”.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5
I’ve taken about 10 Royal Caribbean cruises. The overall quality of the food on this cruise was lacking.

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5

Entertainment

3 out of 5
Entertainment was good but not outstanding.

Children's Programs

1 out of 5
No small children in our party. Just adult children. Review won’t let me indicate N/A.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
Service and staff were very helpful.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
Ship areas that I saw were clean and well-maintained. Should have chosen a smaller ship with fewer passengers.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
The room size was as expected and clean. Housekeeping was great. The bed was hard as a brickbat and resulted in back pain from the first night’s sleep. Both my wife and I finally recovered from the back pain after 2 nights in our own bed.

Ship tip

Don’t buy the non-alcoholic beverage package! Too much money for almost nothing!
