Review summary

Royal Caribbean has gone down hill. Food quality is just so so. Beds were very uncomfortable. Entertainment and activities need to be updated, especially for a 16 day cruise. Senior citizens like rock and roll too, enough of the chamber music.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Would have been 5 stars except the bed was very uncomfortable. Cabin was loud at times. Able to heard noises on both sides and it sounded like elephants walking above. Shower water turned to scalding hot when the toilet in the next cabin was flushed. Cabin was pleasantly a good size and had a couch. Room Stewart (Senifer) was very good.

Ship tip

Small ship but very nice. Captain did an excellent job avoiding 3 hurricanes.

Maybe time to look for a new ship.

That is a lot of sea day, but the ports look amazing!

Sorry for you. I see it had 10 Sea days. That is too much boring time.

I hope they still do the belly flop contest though. That NEVER gets old! 😉
