The cruise itself existed of several Royal Caribbean employees trying to sell u everything from drinks to flea market items to expensive jewelry, lottery tickets, special restaurants and everything else under the sun. Very annoying. While I booked my next cruise on board which doesn't seem to be much of a savings I'm thinking of cancelling it after this particular cruise. One of the nice things on this ship was movies by the pool. Very relaxing and no one tried to sell me anything
Embarkation
4 out of 5
I was able to get on the ship quickly. Only thing that wasn't the same is they used to great you with a glass of champagne. There were no special thrills this time.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
2 out of 5
The only reason I gave a poor rating and not terrible is because the drinks were good. The food in the Windjammer was absolutely terrible. Almost everything was over cooked and bland. The shrimp cocktail was soggy and slimey. Hamburgers were like a wet sponge. No flavor to most food. Some stations were labelled something like "ethnic" but the only ethnic like food was Indian and supposedly Asian but even the Asian food tasted like Indian. All meat was overcooked. No garlic used at least none that I could taste. Scrambled eggs were soggy. The omlettes we're ok. Extremely disappointed in the food overall. Even the main dining room didn't thrill me. The only restaurant that was pretty good was Wonderland. However I expected all the restaurants to be perfect as they used to be when cruising.
Onboard Activities
3 out of 5
Too many lines and if u didn't sign up early u didn't get to use all the facilities. I did get to go on the bumper cars with an hour and fifteen minute wait. Northstar was borning. Could get to use Ripcord.
Entertainment
3 out of 5
Nothing special. Spectra's caberet pretty good. The Wish made no sense. I expected a nice play set in the 1800s or something and they start breaking out with Van Halen songs and even worse.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
The staff was extremely friendly and helpful.
Ship Quality
4 out of 5
The ship was kept very clean but the layout was poor. The music hall was used for several activities but the music hall was too small
Cabin / Stateroom
4 out of 5
Nice size and clean. Lots of closet and dresser space.
That's strange. I was on the Quantum and Anthem and I never experienced that at all. Only people hogging all the pool deck chairs and they were never there.
