Review summary

Overall, it was a very relaxing cruise. We spent many nights at the martini bar and they entertained us and also made great martinis. I wish there was more going on in the observation lounge earlier in the evening . The only thing I noticed was a band or DJ in there, but it wasn’t until 11 o’clock at night.. we tried to see a couple of game shows, but they were hard to see in the venues where they were held. Cruise Director -Lewis was very good. We did not really enjoy the updated menus in the dining room. I think All of Royal Caribbean /celebrity changed them and use this year. We were very disappointed in the desserts in the dining room. What’s wrong with a piece of chocolate cake? I am always impressed with the service in this cruise did not disappoint from the bars to the guest relations area. Everyone was very polite and helpful.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Buffets were good. We weren’t thrilled with the main dining room this cruise, There were not enough choices from my husband since they changed to the new menu. The drinks were good.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
We spent a lot of time in the pool and a lot of time at trivia. I feel like they could’ve been more activities during the day or maybe I missed them.

Ship tip

If you want to see, game shows go early to get a seat, also bring some hand sanitizer. We could not find any outside the bathrooms. I ended up with Covid but I don’t know if I got it on the ship or not

Did not enjoy this part at all. It was much more expensive than we expected. I should’ve done more research.
