Review summary

As experienced cruiser I expected more than what I got for RCL brand. This is a Smaller older ship for those that just want to lounge around since this is not geared towards kids. Young get people and couples will be bored. Perfect for 55+ that aren’t very active.

Buffet is geared for early eaters. By the time we got there at 6:30pm. Most stuff was dried out. Items we ate did not have flavor to them.

Onboard Activities

Cold pools, none of whirlpool worked

Service and Staff

Seemed understaffed. At buffet you get your own drinks

Ship Quality

2 out of 5

Rust everywhere we saw. Ship is aged and shows

Cabin / Stateroom

1 out of 5

Small cramped shower. Do not get if you bring kids

Ship tip

Caters to 55+, younger couples or those with children will have better time of RCL Allure, Icon or Utopia.

My husband and I were on this same sailing. We are both early 50’s and found there wasn’t many activities even for our age range. I agree though it not a ship or even cruise line for smaller kids. We’ve been on Reflection and there was so much more to do

Agree with the shower, but that's common among all ships. Disagree with the clientele a little bit. I'm in my mid-30's and was never bored last month as we're a few others I met. Celebrity has always catered to an older or more subdued crowd, but even when cruising as a kid with them, I wasn't bored.

Would like to connect to find out more,on a whole did you find the ship not up to expectations due to lack of cleaning?
