Review summary

The only negative I found was that smoking was allowed on the pool deck. I respect the choice to smoke, but I don’t think it’s ok for nonsmokers to not have choice about being around smoking. Luckily, it wasn’t too overwhelming. This was my first cruise with RCCL but my 7th cruise overall. I felt all the cruise lines have been pretty similar, yes even to Disney! The main difference I’ve seen between RCCL with Disney, Princess, Celebrity, and Norwegian was the pool deck smoking. I thought the food was overall good, with highs and lows. The Windjammer Buffet was extremely crowded at lunch on embarkation day but the rest of the cruise it wasn’t too bad. That could be because we were up there for breakfast earlier than most people who slept in. We did MyTime Dining with reservations in My Fair Lady. We requested to keep our serving team for the entire cruise. There were a couple times the food was cold when it was expected to be hot. Also, being a party of 2 our table was really close to the other two tops and it was awkward for our little rows of tables to come and go and squeeze in and out of the space. We really enjoyed spending time in The Schooner Bar for the various trivia events, although we never won! In Nassau, we did the Essential Nassau tour. It was our first time in Nassau so we wanted to do some exploring, especially if we go back. It was a good tour! Our day on CocoCay was canceled due to wind which was disappointing. The good news was that the decision was made before we left Nassau so we stayed in port for most of the next day. We went to the pool...it was nice since there wasn’t all the wind that you get when the boat is moving and you are trying to sit by the pool!! We did go see the Comedian on night 1 and Juggle on night 3. They were both pretty funny! I didn’t like paying an extra $9 for the Coco Loco pineapple drink, but I had to try it! There were some maintenance issues that other people have reported in their reviews, like rust, or railings that need varnish, but that’s all I really noticed. The bathroom has a sewage smell, but mostly when the toilet seat is up. We would consider this cruise again, especially for the price! Definitely get the drink package!
