I didn't enjoy this ship at all. The food wasn't good. The same food every day. Didn't taste that good either. Not enough entertainment. The boat is for older people. Not young people. I will not go on Royal Caribbean ships again.

I didn't like it at all. It was not fun. You had to pay for everything and it was higher than other ships.

Older ship but okay

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

The bed wasn't comfortable because of the 2 beds together to make a king. The split in the middle made it uncomfortable.

Ship tip

More good entertainment and better food for everyone.

We HAD the SAME EXPERIENCE after having researched the ship - our cruise SKIPPED destinations and or shortened stays and same food day after day after day and yes fees fees fees fees EVERYWHERE - in surprised they didn’t charge us a fee for AIR!!! It was that uncomfortable- worst of all when we tried while on the cruise and now after the cruise for an answer or explanation of why we skipped stops or shortened stops and never once got a sorry or apology or ship credit and now even not once returned email or phone calls and the lack of customer service while ON the SHIP and since sailing has shown me to AVOID ROYAL AT ALL COST!

Thank you for sharing your cruise experience. Sounds like you didn’t research the ship and what is offered onboard. If you are looking for more to do, you should have researched and booked a ship that offers more of what you are looking for.
