Review summary
We started with high hopes. The first day entering the cabin, we found dirty socks on the floor, blankets etc stuffed under the bed, where they recommended that we put our suitcases, the refrigerator was dirty something had exploded in it, the toilet was backed up and we were told the whole floor was affected by this problem. The second day the shower head blew off, showering water everywhere. The buffet had the same food everyday, and a lot of the food (when we ate it) was ice cold when it was supposed to be hot. The quality was poor also.. hot dogs, meat pattys, cold spagetti. The desserts were awful, kind of stale and tasteless. Then they opened an ice cream type place outside, but the mixture that came out was so diluted it was like ice crystals that immediately ran from the ice cream cone so you had to throw it away. The dining room at night had good food. We have had better treatment and food at other cruise lines, this one, Royal Carribean was not that impressive.Ship experiences
