Review summary

We found out late on Sunday night that the Itinerary changed from Cozumel and Costa Maya to Nassau and Freeport. TOOO late to make any changes. Royal Caribbean should have given us more notice to allow for rescheduling or cancellations. We still had a fun cruise, but wanted the Western Caribbean ... not Bahamas

The Nashville Tenors were absolutely the best. Some others were good but not great

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Fantastic service in Main Dining room, and had so much fun with the Hand Sanitizer young lady outside the Buffet. She was dancing to music she had on her phone, what a blast.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Ship was in pretty good shape for being 25+years old

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Nice location, room in good shape, shower was an issue every day with the shower curtain.

Ship tip

If you want to bring power strip, make sure it only has ONE outlet, and 2 USB ports
