Review summary

It was relaxing. That’s the best way to put it. 😂😂

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Such an easy process! I was stressing about this for no reason😂.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
We got the deluxe beverage package which was more than worth it since it included soda, coffee & alcohol. The food in the Windjammer was great and had a wide selection. I recommend getting breakfast in Great Gatsby. Dinner in Great Gatsby was ok. Not many options that I cared for.

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5
We were bored a lot. We came on this cruise knowing it didn’t have many activities though, and that’s our fault for thinking we wouldn’t get bored. The outside pool was small and always packed. The inside pool was even smaller and usually crowded. The shows sucked and mainly had the attention of the older guests on board. I don’t recommend this cruise if you have children or teenagers. There’s not much for them to do at all.

Entertainment

2 out of 5
We went to a few shows but left within 10-15 minutes. They had the attention and draw of the older guests on board. The music wasn’t bad that played throughout the day.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
We had great service though-out the cruise! Only complaint was our room steward did not clean our room one day. Then the next we had the do not disturb magnet on the door and he walked right in😅😂

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
Overall it was clean. The smell of our interior bathroom was awful and smelled like sewage the entire time. The first night we were on board we found a creepy crawly roach friend in our bathroom that I was not pleased about.

Cabin / Stateroom

2 out of 5
Size is doable for two people. But our bathroom smelled like sewage the entire time and we couldn’t figure out why.

Ship tip

Enjoy the Viking Crown Lounge for peace and quiet.

Ports of call

Ocho Rios, Jamaica

1 out of 5
Worst port. The people, even the taxi drivers that meet you, are not trustworthy. After about 45 minutes in a taxi trying to get to the beach, I told the driver I was sick and needed to go back to the ship. It was also very dirty and not pretty whatsoever.

George Town, Grand Cayman

5 out of 5
Grand Cayman was so pretty and fun. We enjoyed the beach, bus ride/island tour, the shops and Hard Rock Cafe (get the chicken nachos lol).

Labadee (Cruise Line Private Island)

5 out of 5
Haiti was beautiful and a lot of fun. Take advantage of this Royal Caribbean port.

Tampa, Florida

Disembarkation

Very easy and smooth! I recommend carrying your own luggage off the boat if you’re able.
