Service and Staff

Our waiter, Tirencio and Asst. Waiter, Iketut were always there for anything that was needed. They went above and beyond!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
I have always loved how Royal Caribbean ships layouts are. I love the idea that all the shopping, snack shops, shopping, and bars are on one level. You are not going from level to another to find things like other cruise lines are.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Always clean and tidy. We did have a problem with the plumbing that the toilet wouldn't flush ( 4 times) or the shower didn't drain( 1 time).
