Review summary

Please keep in mind that this is a very subjective review as it is my personal account. I know many love Royal Carribbean, but I was just not impressed. The last two sailings we did was on MSC which I was constantly comparing and maybe I should not have done so as there really is no comparison in my mind. I felt that we got a much better value with MSC, i.e., we had concierge level room and experiences for a reasonable charge that no other lines seem to offer. As I said, the service and cleanliness were excellent, but there there were too many little "things" that all rolled into one giant concern that I would not sail this again.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5
Food was not that great. It had no taste. We tried two of the speciality restaurants and were not "wowed." Service and cleanliness were excellent though.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
There were 4876 passengers on board so everything was really crowded.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The three stage shows were excellent.

Service and Staff

Service was excellent. Staff did not seem well informed in some areas.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Cleanliness was excellent, but layout of ship was not. Too many people and not a big enough ship.

Ship tip

Be aware that sailing from NJ, the ship is at sea for the first three days of the cruise. It's a lot of people sharing space for three days.

Ports of call

Cococay (Cruise Line's Private Island)

3 out of 5
Very commercialized and crowded in a small amount of space.
