We had such a great time celebrating our cousins 50th birthday! Since she is born on Christmas Eve, it is just difficult to do something that doesn’t include Christmas… love the cruise, but will not cruise during Christmas again just due to the demographic. Too many large families.
Embarkation
5 out of 5
Quick and easy.
Onboard by 11:15…using the app makes things so much easier!
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
Food on the Explorer was best since returning from COVID.
Selections in MDR and Windjammer were great.
Glad to see RCL listened to feedback and added some “classics” back to themed menus to accommodate the less adventurous eaters, like my husband. 😉
Onboard Activities
4 out of 5
Same activities as usual.
Very family oriented, but made sense considering the demographics of the cruise

Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Anthony and Jeremy in MDR were fabulous!
Our room steward, Mario, was quite friendly too.
Ship Quality
4 out of 5
Great ship…she needs her full dry dock, as she is looking a bit weathered.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
One of the newer cabins that was in included on their past short dry dock
Slightly different than the rest of the cabins on board because we have been on the ship before. It was fine for what we needed.
It could be noisy if there were activities on the promenade due to the location of the cabin, and the door was never shut to shield from the noise
Ship tip
This is the perfect size ship for those new to Cruising. However, do not book the Christmas holiday cruise if you are looking for a traditional experience. This was full of large families that took a lot of time to enter venues and such. Not a bad thing, just different.
