Entertainment

4 out of 5
Shows was good, felt like they could have planned a few more activities. Everything started right in time to the min.

Service and Staff

2 out of 5
This is where our week really took a hit. The service wasnt to the level we have come to expect from a royal cruise. From stateroom attendent to wait staff in the MDR. Just felt like a bother and not welcomed. We did have a great waiter in playmakers, Marjorie and a great bartender in star Lounge, leroy.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
Ship was cleanish but the age does start to show

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
Cabin was good. A few wear and tear here and there but nothing that took away from our cruise

Ship tip

Understand that the ship is a older design. Still lots of fun but is almost 18 years old

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
No major issues here got off a little before our group time and had to wait very slightly for our luggage less then 10 min. Only line was on the ship. Inside the terminal zero line didnt stop moving
