Review summary

Very disappointed with wifi on ship. Couldn’t use at all in stateroom. Had to leave room and go down hall. Couldn’t easily keep tabs on my kids. Notifications on app doesn’t chime or alert u. Wasted money paying for all of us to use it. Water is way overpriced !!

Solarium pool was never open later when I wanted to swim. No hours posted so that wasn’t helpful

No time arriving at 4pm. Wanted to go to nasa and couldn’t. Booked an excursion and they cancelled us due to our arrival time. Had to take a 90.00 Uber to beach 10 mins away to not waste the port!!

Nassau, Bahamas

Took a snorkel from a private booking. Lucky to be alive. Couldn’t explore town bc we felt harassed by constant offers of braiding hair and even yelled to from cars for it. Just wanted to get back on ship so we did. I’ll never go back to nassau. Wish Royal had more options for excursions or wouldn’t sell out.

We had a very bad experience with the Royal Caribbean staff and security. They treated our family very poorly

Not our best cruise experience
