Excellent cruise on a medium ship for beginner cruisers. Wonderful experience with Royal Caribbean!.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
The Key membership meant almost no line and basically walked through

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Most of the food was delicious. Some was just good. We didn’t go to any specialty restaurants or eat “fast food” at the buffet.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Fitness center was large with lots of machines. The rock- climbing wall was open multiple times and the pools were good. The main pool was surprisingly small. Safety was top priority

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Enjoyed tremendously, especially piano man in Schooner Bar and the guitar player/singer in King and Country Pub

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Everyone was courteous and went above and beyond!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Very clean and well maintained. Hand sanitizer everywhere

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Very comfortable and good size. Enjoyed the private balcony with an unobstructed view

Ship tip

THE KEY membership was worth the cost!

Ports of call

Tampa, Florida

Cozumel, Mexico

Was a little confusing how to get to the main part of town where our excursion meeting place was. Despite the terrible things in the news about Mexico, I never felt threatened. Watch for less-than-honest merchants though. 3 Tshirts don’t cost $200 US

George Town, Grand Cayman

5 out of 5
Yes we did an excursion with Captain Bob to snorkel the reef, stingray city, and starfish point. Great shopping and excursion.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
The Key membership again to the rescue! Wonderful experience
