We had a great time. We really couldn't be happier with the experience, and we'll definitely consider cruising with Royal Caribbean in the future.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

This was the true highlight of the cruise. Butch and Tauhid took excellent care of us in the main dining room. They were friendly, efficient, and knowledgeable. My wife has a gluten allergy that can be difficult to accommodate. Basil and Butch worked together every night to make sure that Linda got the most from her dining experience. That really means the world to us. The food itself was absolutely top notch, and Butch and Tauhid were always ready to answer any questions and to recommend the menu items that matched our tastes.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

There were a few mix ups with the trivia events on board, but other than that things were good. We enjoyed hanging out on the solarium, and we loved the karaoke events and the game shows.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

The ice performance was quite spectacular. The onboard theater company was very good.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

I've already raved about Butch and Tauhid, but I'll keep clapping for them. They were the best. Tauhid is one of the most genuinely joyous servers I've ever had. Angello did an excellent job making sure that our room was cleaned in a timely fashion. He was always happy to answer any questions or to provide for any needs we might have.
