Review summary

Good value, overall good experience but as a couple in our mid 50's traveling without kids, we would probably consider our next cruise on Celebrity.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Fairly smooth and without any issues.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Food quality and service very good. Not many gluten-free options routinely offered. Although available, it was somewhat inconvenient to keep asking for gluten free bread. Specialty dining was very good but the extra cost was annoying - why can't this quality of food be served in the main dining room??

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Fitness center packed, some machines not working. Adult pool great, Would have liked some wine tasting and other adult activities (besides pool-related ones).

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Royal Caribbean dancers and orchestra were excellent. Some of the imported entertainers were average, some were great.

Children's Programs

No kids

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
Room steward fabulous, waiters were very good but really disliked the constant barrage of wait staff asking us to make reservations for specialty dining.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
The ship was definitely on the older side but the staff worked hard to keep it clean.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
Decent size but lack of drawer storage was an issue and bathroom was a little tight.

Ship tip

On board shops leave a lot to be desired. Not a wide selection and real lack of toiletries/sundries in case you forgot something.

Ports of call

Baltimore, Maryland

4 out of 5

King's Wharf, Bermuda

5 out of 5
Service and excursions were well run; lots of taxis and shuttles available. Friendly shops. Horseshoe Bay Beach not to be missed.

Nassau, Bahamas

3 out of 5
Cab drivers inflated fares whenever they could.

Cococay (Cruise Line's Private Island)

3 out of 5
Loved everything about this day. Rented a cabana for the day and absolutely loved this. Service was wonderful and day was one of the best of the cruise.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
Relatively smooth and without issues.

I had a blast on this ship! My first on RC. I was going nonstop from 6 AM to midnight and beyond! Had zero problems! Loved the staff, food and variety of simultaneous activities! I couldn't keep up! Ready to book my next cruise!

Yes, why? What didn't you like about this ship? I'll be on it next year. Any review would be appreciated.
