Review summary

Nice little cruise to start on to get the cruise experience. I’ve done 2 smaller European cruises but this was my first with Royal Caribbean which I throughly enjoyed!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Lots of choice in the main buffet area with different choices of food every day. Ate at Chops Grille every night - great menu and well looked after by our waiter and sommelier. Went for breakfast there for one morning and they got every order wrong so stuck to the buffer for breakfast! Great experience overall.

Ship Quality

Lots of places to go to - only discovered some of the bars on the last night! Nice to be able to walk the full loop on deck all around the ship!

Cabin / Stateroom

Nice big cabin that fit four of us. Bathroom a little small. Balcony nice and spacious.

Book your speciality restaurant as soon as you get on to avoid queuing in the evening!
