Review summary

They need to get rid of the art auction. Amazed on how many people take up their offer of "free" posters for only $35 handling and mailing fees. No thank you to our offer for our anniversary. Needs better menu items. Formal night needs to be done away with. No shorts rule ignored. If you have standards, uphold them. Bermuda is paradise. Ride the buses there. Better than any paid tour. Can't wait to return.

Entertainment

Comedians were okay. Dancers good. Female singer screeched her songs. Orchestra had a jazz concert. Boo. Better shows were offered on previous trips.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Servers in dining room were friendly and efficient when food was finally ready. Room Stewart was the best.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5

Areas clean in spite of where messy passengers left their trash! Rust showing in areas. Ship needs a bit of spiffy care.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Bed was comfortable and room clean. Not sure how they get everything ready for new passengers in such a short period of time but they do.

Ship tip

Be prepared to be pampered but sailing not as elegant as it use to be. For us, the port is a short drive from home for us. Wish Royal Caribbean would bring in a different ship.

DerekMire, Why wear shorts when the dress code says no shorts in the dining room?

Agree to a point on the formal nights. For me, they are a staple of cruising, and one of my favorite nights! That said, the dress code could be enforced much better.
