Review summary

This was our first cruise with Royal Caribbean International, and we were impressed by the pristine condition of the ship and the friendliness and professionalism of the crew. We went on excursions in four of the five ports of call through the cruise line and found them to be reasonably priced, led by well qualified tour guides and bus drivers, and thoroughly enjoyable and informative. We were very pleased with all aspects of the cruise and will travel with Royal Caribbean again.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

The food was very good, overall.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

The evening shows are very professional - some very funny comedians and very talented singers and dancers. We found some "hits" and "misses" with the classes offered.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Big, beautiful, very clean and well taken care of

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

We go for the interior staterooms because we'd rather spend our money on excursions. We were pleased with the design, condition, cleanliness and functionality of our room.
