Good cruise. Ignore the small things on the ship.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Very easy in Miami. Just a small wait.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Restaurants were fine. Food was great but my wife and I aren’t gourmets. Plenty to choose from.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

We spent our sea days in the solarium. Great pool and hot tubs. This ship has a flow rider and mini golf. Great promenade for people watching.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

Mediocre. Not up to Royal’s standard. Two exceptions: great ice show and the juggler was fantastic. Much more than a juggler. Ice show seating is by muster station so keep watching your Cruise Compass.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Outstanding in all venues.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

The ship is in need of the upcoming upgrade. But we weren’t buying the room, just renting it for a week. Same with the rest of the ship. So for us it was fine.
