Review summary

We have cruised before and will again with RC. I am hoping they get their IOS app updated soon so that texting other guests within the app is brought out to the whole fleet.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Easy. We had priority boarding and got right through within minutes.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
We enjoyed the main dining room and went every night. We went to the WindJammer every day for breakfast.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
We took part in the Dodge ball, Volleyball, I-fly and Wave-rider. I ran on the top deck each day and my spouse and kids used the gym several times.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
The comedy show was short each time. I enjoyed all of the shows and plays. The virtual symphony was cool to watch.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Staff was great and always helpful.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
We enjoy having a balcony room. One disadvantage to our room was being only a few decks above the smoking area. So when in port or moving slowly, you could sometimes smell the smoke from below. No obstruction to the view since we were two decks above the life boats.

Ship tip

My only wish is that RC catches up with other cruise lines and gets the ability to text within their app online to all ships very soon.

Ports of call

Port Canaveral, Florida

5 out of 5
We went to Icon park. It was okay. The best feature of Icon park was being able to walk to Wawa for our coffee. It would not go back since there was very little to do without paying extra for the ferris wheel and other rides.

Nassau, Bahamas

5 out of 5
We have been to Nassau before with RC. This time we went to the Pearl Island escape and it was the best decision. Some of us did snorkeling while the rest relaxed by the water. We then went and did some of the kayaking and paddle boarding.

Perfect Day At Coco Cay, Bahamas

5 out of 5
We started off the morning doing the Swim With the Pigs. Forget the dolphins and sting rays and go see the Pigs. Great time. CocoCay was great and we enjoyed just lounging on the beach and enjoying lunch. In the afternoon, we rode the balloon and enjoyed the view.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Simple. Easy. Quick. We lined up at 6am and were waiting to be picked up by 7am. It was smooth.

The onboard texting feature on the app is supposed to be available on all ships by the end of 2020.
