Review summary

Our last cruise was aboard the much larger Oasis and did not know what to expect from a smaller ship. We really enjoyed this shorter cruise. The dinning options were less but still very good. The entertainment and activities were great, trivia games, egg drop and paper airplane contests were fun to watch. The seas were rough but did not notice the smaller ship being worse than on larger ship. This is a great option for first time cruisers.

Embarkation

Even with the threat of the corona virus, We were on the ship in no time.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Buffet could be crowded at times but main dinning was great.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

No fault of the cruise line but seas were rough and access to walking deck was closed a lot. It was too cool to get in pool but the day in Cozumel was warm.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Just as good or not better than larger ships.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

We really enjoyed our evening dinning. We reserved the same table each night got excellent service from Leshaung and Christopher.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

I believe this is an older ship and starting to show a little wear but overall clean and well maintained.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

We have stayed in larger and smaller rooms before. I would get this room again. Not far from elevators.

Ship tip

Relax and enjoy life.

Nice! I've been on mid-sized ships before and to a certain extent, I like them better. The mega ships have all the bells and whistles, which I love, but the smaller ships have a better layout (in my opinion).

We like Royal C and prefer the older smaller classics. But if one day nothing but mega ships are left we will change cruise lines to find smaller ships.

This is the only class of Royal Caribbean ships I’ve been on, so I can’t compare. But they are good enough for me. Don’t understand all the complaints.
