We love Royal Caribbean cruises and live in Florida so it's easy to take advantage of all the cruise ports in FL.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

We did ultimate dinner package and only ate in Chops Grill and Giovanni's. Chops Grill even had breakfast. Very relaxing and big menus.

Onboard Activities

We love Trivia games and even won twice. Played slots but otherwise just avoided large crowds and enjoyed our suite.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

The servers and room steward were excellent. All the crew very accommodating and friendly.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

We saw constant cleaning of railings and elevator buttons around the clock. The corridors were even fogged 3-5AM. Excellent cleaning protocols.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

First time having a Grand Suite to celebrate our 50th anniversary and it was wonderful. It will make it very hard going back to just a balcony.

Ship tip

Use the Royal app and all your paperwork is done beforehand.
