Review summary

I think if we had to do this same itinerary again we would rather fly out of Florida. The extra cost to fly into Puerto Rico was more than the cost of the cruise.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

It was effortless. Waited in line less than 30 minutes and boarded early.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Our favorite meals were at Giovanni's. Chops was also excellent. The main dining room was not up to par in our opinion.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

We enjoyed the Solarium pool area. However the pool was not warm at all. The Jacuzzi was heated so why not the pool?

Entertainment

Didn't go to any shows

Children's Programs

No kids with us

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Our room steward Joel was very attenuative and took care of any requests we had. The Diamond lounge was our favorite.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5

The cleanliness was not a problem. This ship is older (22 y/o) and has not had the RCCL "Amplification" yet. (Scheduled for Jan. 2023)

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

We had a Junior Suite which was just the right size. We really loved the walk in closet and the tub in the bathroom. All of the RC ships need more electrical receptacles. The room was very clean.
