Review summary

I would sail w/ Royal Caribbean- but sailing is not the same since Covid. Many things have changed and not for the good. Less service and food was no longer excellent.

Cabin / Stateroom

1 out of 5

We had an obstructed view that was not revealed to us during booking. Because the ship was at capacity they could not do anything for us to compensate.

Ship tip

Do not sail on school vacation weeks when kids are free.

We did not do an excursion but got off ship and did some shopping. Not a lot to see. We have been to Atlantis a couple times on other trips but that was not available unless we wanted to swim with dolphins- which we already had done.
