Review summary

Despite being Royal Carribean's smallest ship size, this was an amazing experience for us to do a first time cruise. With no prior experience to compare to, we enjoyed every aspect of our vacation.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Staff at the port was kind and helpful

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Our food experience was phenomenal. Food accommodations went out of their way to make every experience enjoyable.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Activities were fun and engaging. The personnel running the events were amazing and would get 5 stars on their own. However, the equipment and the events themselves were often silly and came across as "making due with what we have"

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Entertainment was phenomenal. We actively sought out the music performances.

Children's Programs

Did not bring kids

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Ship personnel made sure to get to know us and cater their service to our needs.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Entire ship was clean and well-maintained

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
The ship's pillows were not what I would expect from a vacation cruise. There was a faint smell when we initially embarked but I think we got used to it as the cruise went on because it became a non-factor.

Ship tip

If departing in winter months, still bring warming layers. Going towards the equator did not do enough do keep us from being cold for a majority of our trip (minus nassau)

Ports of call

Baltimore, Maryland

5 out of 5
Baltimore was a good departure port. Packaged deals in Baltimore for the day-of-departure would have been nice because we were not sure what to do with our day of departure

Charleston, South Carolina

5 out of 5
We went ashore and did a horse-drawn tour, and then did a walking tour

Port Canaveral, Florida

5 out of 5
We went to universal studios. It was minorly upsetting that we only get essentially half a day but had to pay full price to get into universal. Recommend cruise line looks into packaging with universal or disney for half-day passes

Perfect Day At Coco Cay, Bahamas

5 out of 5
We did ziplining and it was fun. Coco Cay was a relaxing private island to be on

Nassau, Bahamas

5 out of 5
We did a tour with locals and did shopping. Very enjoyable port to go to.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Easy to leave. We appreciated how seamless it was to leave
