Review summary

As my title suggests, I have wanted to do this cruise because of my love for lighthouses and I wasn’t disappointed. We had a perfect weather week, no rain (except a few drops in Halifax) and temps were perfect. Royal Caribbean is our cruise line of choice and I can’t wait to go on our Caribbean cruise next April.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Our room steward Paulo was outstanding. Anything we needed, he was there. Our waiter Roy and assistant waiter Antonio were very attentive. We actually saw our head waiter every night (Alan) who always checked to see that everything was alright.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

The ship is a little too “austentatious” for me but I always saw staff cleaning common areas and we always had to wash our hands before entering the Windjammer.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Our balcony room was great - we love going outside and just relaxing. The room was very clean and the bed comfortable. The shower was a nice size even for my husband.
