Review summary

Overall this was a great cruise on a great ship with a fantastic crew. But I will avoid Royal Caribbean in the future unless or until they are able to be fully staffed. Royal Caribbean really failed in this regard. Also, the Internet was very unreliable. I think the Voom package is worthless and would not purchase it again.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

We had the majority of meals in the main dining room and were never disappointed. We only tried the buffet once because they advertised "tex-mex" day. Other than some chips and guacamole, there were no "tex-mex" items available at all.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Stage productions and ice skaters were top notch

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

The crew were all awesome, despite being short staffed. Making the crew work so hard because of a staffing shortage is a disgraceful failure on the part of Royal Caribbean.
