Review summary

The Royal Caribbean 4 Night Bahamas & Perfect Day cruise exceeded all expectations. The combination of a well-appointed ship, stunning destinations, and exceptional service made it a truly memorable experience. I would highly recommend this cruise to anyone looking for a perfect blend of relaxation and adventure.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
I had the advantage of being booked in a Suite for the first time ever. The embarkation process was seamless and efficient. Royal Caribbean staff members were welcoming and helped us get settled in quickly. The check-in process was a breeze, and we were soon ready to explore the ship.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Royal Caribbean still has great food throughout the cruise, but it is less than it was in the pre-Covid years. There is always something very good to eat, and you definitely won't go away hungry. The dining options on board were diverse. From casual dining at the Windjammer Marketplace to the upscale experience at the specialty restaurants, every meal was a culinary delight. The attentive waitstaff and the variety of cuisine options added to the overall dining experience.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Royal Caribbean knows how to keep guests entertained. The nightly shows were top-notch, featuring talented performers and captivating productions. Whether it was Broadway-style musicals, comedy acts, or live music, there was something for everyone.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The service on board was exceptional. The crew members were friendly, attentive, and always ready to assist. Whether it was the dining staff, cabin stewards, or entertainment team, everyone contributed to creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
I love this class (Freedom Class) of ship. Just the right size to have plenty to do, but not so large that you get lost doing it.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
First time ever in a suite, and we will do it again. Our stateroom was comfortable, clean, and well-appointed. The cabin staff were attentive to our needs and kept the room in impeccable condition throughout the cruise. The ocean view from our balcony was a constant reminder of the paradise that awaited us on our journey.

Ship tip

I absolutely LOVE the Freedom Class of ships. There is always plenty going on, the adult-only solarium is plenty big to have a lounge chair and room in the pool or one of the two whirlpool tubs.

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

5 out of 5
There's always something going on in Miami!

Perfect Day At Coco Cay, Bahamas

5 out of 5
Royal Caribbean's private island, CocoCay, truly lived up to its name. The Perfect Day at CocoCay experience was a highlight of the cruise. The crystal-clear waters, thrilling water slides at Thrill Waterpark, and the relaxing Oasis Lagoon made it a day to remember. The attention to detail in creating this exclusive paradise was evident in every aspect.

Nassau, Bahamas

5 out of 5

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Even the disembarkation process was smooth. Royal Caribbean's well-organized procedures made leaving the ship as hassle-free as possible, allowing us to end our vacation on a positive note.

Does anyone know wht Royal decided to paint bottom portion blue ? When we were on it in January we noticed it. Liked the plain white better. Thanks.
