I tried the indoor skydiving and Northstar. Both were so much fun! I saw We Will Rock You which was really good. It was a little long, almost 2 hours, but the singers were amazing!

Everyone was Very friendly.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Beautiful ship I felt it was a little crowded on the Royal Esplanade. I was surprised that it only had 1 ice cream station on the pool deck. For almost 5,000 passengers you would think they would have more. The line got long a few times.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Our cabin was a handicap accessible cabin 8674. Very nice cabin with a balcony. People always complain that the beds are uncomfortable but I liked it and so did my husband. Plenty of storage. Nice large balcony. Very happy with this cabin.

Ship tip

Book indoor skydiving and northstar, and shows ahead of time on the cruise planner. Everything is less expensive if booked ahead of time, drinks plan, dining plan, shore excursions. Do it all before you get onboard.

Ports of call

Port Canaveral, Florida

5 out of 5
I booked the Universal Studios excursion through the ship and and it was great. Had a wonderful day. Just wish I had more time in the park.

Nassau, Bahamas

5 out of 5
I did the Blue Lagoon Dolphin Encounter and I loved every minute of it! The Dolphin were so gentle and friendly. They took great pictures. I got 4 pictures for around $40.00. The excursion included a stay at the beach to use their water activities but I really just wanted to do the dolphins so I got back to the ship as early as I could. Great experience with the dolphins!

Perfect Day At Coco Cay, Bahamas

5 out of 5
Loved the water park in Coco Cay. The slides, wave pool and food was all so good! I did go to Chill Island beach and with 2 ships there it felt pretty crowded. The water park did not feel crowded at all. The oasis pool is really fun. The padded floor of the pool felt great on my tired feet. Lol

Cape Liberty (Bayonne), New Jersey

5 out of 5
