Entertainment

3 out of 5
It was OK but somewhat disappointing in the variety and quality of entertainment.

Children's Programs

My husband and I are retired, thus we were not interested in children's programs.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
All services received were excellent.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Yes, the ship was beautiful and well-kept.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
It was a very nice cabin and was kept clean and neat by our room Steward. I was surprised that Royal Caribbean no longer does the evening cabin turndown when towels and other items are replaced if needed.

Ship tip

Enjoy all the activities if you are able and willing to participate in them.
