5 out of 5

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The food selection was great, can not say enough about the servers. They were way above a 10. Edwin checked daily with us that everything was perfect. His friendly personality made our day. It is unreal how him and our waiter Rafael and assistant Iwayin …pardon if misspelled would stop when we were in other area and took time to personally acknowledge us. The always accommodate our special request and served meals in a timely fashion.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Due to my medical issue we did not partake and looking forward on an upcoming cruise

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Good variety of shows and entertainment. If you love music there was always a place to listen. Loved the Name Tune Show,,, was fun with audience participation anf RCL singers and dancers. One of my favorite was the Slippery When Wet performance….the lead singer was excellent and if you closed your eyes you would actually think you were enjoying the original band. His singing was excellent and a great showman. Ran into on ship and he looked more Bon Jovi than in the show. Had to tell him personally how good he was humble and even commented he saw me while he was performing. Hope they will be again on cruise on an upcoming cruise in March.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
On a scale of 1 to 10 they would be 20. From room stewards, waiters, guest services they were always there for excellent service.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
It is a big, beautiful ship and very clean. This was first time on this size and took awhile to find yourself around…..and probably missed places. Finding seating at Windjammer were the only places that was a bit overwhelming with people. My Time timing was a nice relaxing dinner.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Loved the balcony. Bed and bedding were exceptionally comfortable. There was only two of us so size was great. If more could be a bit tight

Ship tip

Be ready to be amazed. Stay mid ship. Get to shows early …get to relax without hurrying. Pack less clothes…I always overpack. Buy magnetics for walls….great for hanging things. Bring patience…not all cruisers are as patient as you may be.

Ports of call

Cape Liberty (Bayonne), New Jersey Did not visit port

Drove to day of cruise

Port Canaveral, Florida Did not visit port

No interest in getting off

Perfect Day At Coco Cay, Bahamas

5 out of 5
Love love it love it. Been there done it and will always look forward to that perfect day. Wish we could do more than one day.

Nassau, Bahamas Did not visit port

Medical issues and wanted just to relax

Miami, Florida Did not visit port

No interest. Immigration was a disaster even when no interest of getting off. Was a messed up confused experience.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
We did self assist and once we got moving it was smooth and easy. Had doubts if dragging luggage but was so much better in the end because we could get on the road faster and head home. Worked well
