Review summary

Very disappointed with the internet! Paid for “premium internet” package. Was almost useless. Many times couldn’ get connected and in the few times I was connected it was so slow, it was unusable. The Lido deck buffet was terrible. We were first-time cruisers and it took awhile to figure out where the dinner and breakfast dining rooms were. Long walks. Dinner was great. Breakfast was pretty good. For the amount of money we spent, we were disappointed. The only good times were when everyone left the ship, we finally were able to relax in “serenity” pools. Amy wife enjoyed the spa services, but very expensive

Embarkation

Crowded, disorganized

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5

The Lido deck buffet was terrible (in our opinion) Once we found the dining rooms for Breakfast and Dinner, it was much better

Grand Buffet

1 out of 5

Quality of food was terrible. Long lines of people

Onboard Activities

1 out of 5

Too many people everywhere. Pools were unusuable (in our opinion) because of standing room only. Even on the “serenity deck” it was an overflow for the loud drunks, so no serenity

Spa

4 out of 5

My wife enjoyed many of the spa services, however quite expensive

Entertainment

3 out of 5

one show - america’s music was ok. The comedian was gross and lots of “black” jokes that we didn’t relate to

You’re gonna have to cruise Royal Caribbean’ Oasis class ships. They are the best in every category most people look for in a cruise. I have cruised Victory and Conquest and they are significantly unequaled to RC OAsis class ships.

Maybe if you put down your electronic devices you would have found some more fun.
